Verona
Verona for me is the quintessential Northern Italian city unconcerned with drawing tourists it is a masterpiece of modern mixed with the old in such an exquisite blend that you really don’t notice one from the other. Most cities are old in Italy but Verona is especially so reaching back to around 89BC before being brought into the Roman Empire, it still has many leftovers from this period scattered throughout the city including its own coliseum still used often. Verona’s fame today is largely due to an Englishman named William Shakespeare centering two of his plays in the city making it so famous that a fictional character Juliet and her supposed balcony is the most visited spot in Verona.
