The most undisputed symbol of Verona is undoubtedly its Arena. It is a Roman amphitheater dating back to the first century of .C located in the center of the most important square in the city, Piazza Bra, on which research and studies have been carried out worldwide. What makes this impressive monument interesting, in addition to its historical and architectural aspect, are the mysteries and legends that hover around its construction. In fact, it seems that the 'birth' of the Arena di Verona is inextricably linked to the events of a gentleman from Verona who, sentenced to death, waited for dawn in his cell to see his sentence completed. The screams and desperate laments of the man on his last night were greeted by the Devil who proposed to him to build in his name, and to redeem his image, a majestic building as a gift to the citizens of Verona. The devil immediately set to work. A few hours after the end of the construction, however, the man repented and invoked the forgiveness of Our Lady. This heard the prayers of man and anticipated the arrival of dawn by putting the devil on the run who then left the construction unfinished. It is said that this is the reason why the outer wing of the Arena di Verona has never been completed.

The city of Verona is universally known as one of the most romantic in the world. On the other hand, who does not know the wonderful love story between Romeo Montecchi and Giulietta Capuleti? Their timeless story, brought to light by the tireless pen of William Shakespeare, has made Verona a universally known stage. Even today the city is teeming with anecdotes and references to their eternal love. In addition to Juliet's Balcony, which has become one of the most visited places in the city, it is interesting to spend two lines also on the statue, depicting the young lover, which was placed, following an important restoration, in front of the entrance of the Capulet family home. The statue immediately assumed the role of 'amulet' of the city. Right from the start the custom was born among tourists from all over the world, but also among the local inhabitants, to 'caress' the statue as a superstitious gesture. After about 35 years of 'caresses' however, the statue literally began to deteriorate. For this reason it was replaced by an almost identical copy while the original is still visible, but in 'well-deserved rest', inside Juliet's house, in Via Cappello at number 23!
