Verona
Juliet's House
Repeating Romeo’s and Juliet’s vows of eternal love.
Click on the picture to see the gallery
The legend of this house and its famous balcony arose from the first dialog in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, one of the most performed scenes in the history of theatre.
It was in this very house that the eternal lovers professed undying love to one another.
In fact, popular lore identifies the Shakespearean Capulets as the Del Cappelos, the noble family that owned this building for a very long time (from the thirteenth century) and whose coat of arms is carved over the arch inside the courtyard.
Over the centuries, this house has become one of Verona’s most representative sites and is the destination of hundreds of visitors who arrive each day from around the world in a desire to pay tribute to love. The Medieval residence, picturesquely restored by Antonio Avena in the early twentieth century, features a beautiful internal facade made of exposed brick, a Gothic portal, trefoil windows, a balustrade that connects the various sections of the house from the exterior and, of course, the famous balcony.
The interior contains furnishings from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, frescoes relating to Romeo and Juliet episodes, and Veronese Renaissance ceramics. The rooms on the upper level have a wood trefoil ceiling, with coffers that are painted blue and feature gilt stars. The bronze statue of Juliet by Nereo Costantini is displayed in the courtyard.

Within the beautiful, historical “Palazzo della Ragione”
Click on the picture to see the gallery.
The Notary's Chapel is the most prestigious room in the “Palazzo della Ragione”, the old City Town Hall.
The majestic Palazzo is located in the southeast corner of the ancient Roman Forum between Piazza Erbe and Piazza dei Signori and was erected in the last years of the 12th century to host the Offices of the Magistrate’s Court.
Throughout the centuries it became an important political center and housed in its big rooms the Notary’s College, the Silk Customs Offices, the Tax Offices, the Savings Bank and the Law Court.
Built between 1408 and 1419 on behalf of the honourable Notary’s College that dedicated it to St. Zeno and St. Daniel, the Notary's Chapel is located on the first floor of the Masseria Tower (the fortified tower) and hosts one of the most valuable decorations realized on public commission.
There are four small communicating rooms protected by preciously decorated 19th century wood
panels ; vaulted ceilings and gothic arches are the set for grand baroque oil paintings on oval canvasses done by the Veronese Alessandro Marchesini,
Giambattista Bellotti, Santo Prunati and by the French artist Louis Dorigny at the end of the 17th century.

Loggia Barbaro
In the heart of Verona, where the history of the city unfolded.
Click on the picture to see the gallery.
The large frescoed hall in the Torre del Capitanio was originally meant for entertaining.
The first pictorial layer of the frescoes dates to the International Gothic Period.
Between 1509 and 1517 Maximilian Hapsburg had a new decoration painted, exalting the nuptial allegory of the king and the City of Verona.
The final pictorial layer celebrates the power of Venice, its victories in the Orient and its recapture of the city.
The Loggia Barbaro room is located inside the tower of the Palazzo del Capitano or the Courthouse
(also known as Palazzo di Cansignorio), a thirteenth century residence once owned by the Della Scala family and rebuilt by Cansignorio during the second half of the fourteenth century. It is likely that this tower was once part of an architectural complex that was used as a residence from 1277 by Alberto I della Scala, who became Lord of Verona; it is the only surviving tower of the complex’s original four.
The palace features the massive Della Scala tower, a beautiful portal by Michele Sanmicheli, and a fifteenth-century central courtyard that is enclosed by a loggia with three vertical sections and a portico; the seventeenth-century Bombardieri door is also noteworthy. The structure (created from a group of buildings dating from different eras and having various purposes, traces of which are still evident) was renovated at the end of the 1800s to accommodate the court offices.

Sala Arazzi (Tapestry Room)
Near the famous Arena of Verona
Click on the picture to see the gallery.
The Sala Arazzi (Tapestry Room), located on the main floor of Palazzo Barbieri, takes its name from the precious objects that were moved there after World War II and features two enormous tapestries dating from the late sixteenth century. The first tapestry, on the long wall opposite the window, depicts the Feast in the House of Levi. This work was produced by Veronese’s studio and is attributed to Benedetto and Carletto Caliari. The second tapestry, displayed on the smaller wall, is the work of Paolo Farinati and depicts the Victory of the Veronese over the Troops of Frederick I.
Palazzo Barbieri (also known as the Gran Guardia Nuova or the City Hall), was built during the first half of the 1800s by the engineer Giuseppe Barbieri as the headquarters for the Austrian Civil Guard. This large Neoclassical building was inspired by ancient Roman temples (as evidenced by the Corinthian colonnade and pronaos, as well as the large triangular pediment). Inside, two large tapestries by Paolo Farinati and Felice Brusasorci illustrate important events in the history of Verona. The building has been the City Hall since 1869.
