What to expect

Why were 176 people killed in a medieval massacre on February, 13th, 1278? What happened to the Jewish family who lived next to the Synagogue during WW II? Whose corpses were those found in the Tribunal Courtyard? This small guided tour lets you in on Verona’s dark past and well-hidden secrets. Andrea, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Learn about Verona as a city where nobody dared go out at night – a real difference to the ‘City of Love’ we know today.’

Verona’s 2,000-year-old Roman ampitheatre has lived a turbulent history. From its ferocious gladiator battles, fires and invasions – you’ll see a deadly side to this ancient structure. Walk along Via Mazzini, Verona’s main shopping street until you reach the characteristic tower-house architecture of the ancient Jewish ghettos and Synagogue. Learn about Verona’s Jewish history, dating back to the 10th century, and listen to haunting stories of how families lived.

Follow your guide to the vibrant Piazza delle Erbe and learn about grizzly events that took place behind its charm. Between the dangling whalebone of Arco della Costa and Piazza dei Signori, you’ll come across the Scaliger Tombs – five gothic monuments dedicated to the former warlords of the city. ‘Known as ‘mad dog’ for ruling with an iron first, discover the 700-year-old mystery of Cangrande’s death by foxglove poisoning’, adds Andrea.
