Verona’s surrounding landscape is the broad alluvial plain shaped by the Adige River, which has influenced both the city’s compact historic fabric and its role as a commercial crossroads in Veneto. The river curves around the old centre, where Roman streets, medieval towers and Renaissance palaces trace more than two millennia of urban life. Piazza Bra is home to the Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheatre that still stages major opera performances each summer. Across the Adige, San Pietro Hill rises above the city, with the Roman Theatre below it. Verona is also inseparable from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, though the connection is literary rather than historical. Browse additional webcams from the Verona area to extend your view of Veneto.
