Verona views

We bought a Verona Card so we could visit many of the historic sights in a cost effective way, but rather than show more pictures of churches, I'll share some of the sights that I liked- the ordinary things really that are special because of where they are, Italy!

The Lamberti Tower, which we climbed up.
Mama Shiva where are your oil paint sticks?

 

Love

This place is tourist central and the hot attraction is Giulietta's casa. The tunnel like entry to the courtyard is full of love messages.
And people making heart shapes!
This is the house and famous balcony plus there is a gate with love locks. Just buy one from the shop next door.
And a bit gross are the chewing gum pieces used for messages. They are plastered over the walls and the trunk of a vine and hold the papers in place also.



















When we were in the house a bride arrived amidst much clapping. The wedding was inside the house, followed by much clapping!
She was overcome with the emotion and used a satin handkerchief supplied by the groom.

Verona

Welcome to Verona where we are staying in this building. Our window is the top right hand corner one, with 1 green wooden shutter open.
Loved the colour of this door. The buildings here have lovely balconies, colours, old frescos and window treatment.
