Hi Silvia and Michele, Welcome to Easy Travel hosting! Authors of the Go Verona website, Today we will talk about this beautiful city. You were born here or you have decided to live or live on it from a completely different part?
Thanks and hello everyone!
Ciao Butei E Butele (“Guys and girls” in Veronese)!
We are Silvia and Michele, life and travel companions, Born both in Verona and Veronese thoroughbred.
We thought of creating this destination blog (In reality Silvia is the creator of everything) for the place we live: This blog tells the places, traditions, The peculiarities of the territory and the gastronomic specialties.
The purpose of our blog is to help tourists and those who want to visit and explore Verona to explore them better, Find the most hidden and fascinating sides of Verona, different panoramic views and give advice on itineraries on foot.
Silvia has decided to "rediscover" her beloved city from a different perspective and that's why she decided to create this unusual blog, in such a way as to show Verona by a different perspective and not according to the usual canons dictated by other sources of information.
Michele agreed to collaborate in the realization of the blog and also enjoys being a tourist at home and to explore it better as he had never done before.
One of the articles that attracted us immediately is "Hidden and strangers of Verona". You can tell us some of these places?
The article "Hidden and unknown corners of Verona" aims to make known those areas and details of Verona who are "less touristy" and precisely unknown to most.
For example, Via Sottoriva or Piazzetta Pescheria which are central, They are not very known to mass tourism and it is a way to show - in the eyes of the tourist - the places as if it were a Veronese.
Culinary, how to distinguish Verona?
Verona is rich in culinary traditions, Below is a list:
- To be enjoyed risotto in amarone, risotto with tastasal or in the variant to the island, risotto with red radicchio from Verona;
- The Bollito with Pearà is absolutely worth tasting (it is a typical Veronese dish of the winter season, it is prepared with beef accompanied by a sauce based on breadcrumbs, grana, medulla, plenty of broth and black pepper);
- Potato Gnocchi are a typical dish of the Veronese Carnival, they date back to the middle of 1500 (to taste with tomato or with melted butter and sugar/cinnamon);
- Tortellini di Valeggio or Nodi d'Amore are made with a pasta stretched thin as silk, cut and knotted like a handkerchief, after having enriched it with a delicate filling based on various meats and vegetables.
- Traditionally, Pastisada de Caval was prepared, a dish based on braised horse meat, very flavored and often accompanied with polenta.
- Renga, that is, the herring that was prepared above all in the period of Lent, It is now prepared all year round and the bigoli that are "spaghetti" of fresh egg pasta and are served with meat sauce or sardines.
Do not miss a visit to the ancient wine shop, since it is the oldest tavern in Verona.
In bars and pastry shops you can taste the typical sweets of Verona, such as Pandoro and Nadalin (star -shaped, low and icing) in the Christmas period, the Russian cake and the fried cream in the carnival period.
Verona returns by right between 10 World Championships of wine: There are excellent DOC wines, Like Valpolicella, Recioto, the Soave, Bardolino and Amarone, Just to mention the best known.
The most famous attractions in Verona are known all over the world and attract many tourists. We cannot exempt ourselves from talking about it, To you the microphone!
Exact.
Verona is the city of love between Giulietta Capuleti and Romeo Montecchi, The best known couple of lovers in the world, taken from the famous Shakespearean tragedy in which it has become the symbol of love.
It is the perfect city for a small romantic escape of lovers.
Not only is the city of love but it is also the city of the lyrical and theater festival (especially for the Veronese theatrical summer, with works in the Arena and the Roman theater), as well as wine (especially when the Vinitaly fair is on).
Piazza Erbe and Piazza San Zeno are lived in by the Veronese and you can breathe the so-called "Veronesità", that is, the Veronese way of life.
The Hill of Castel San Pietro, the Lamberti Tower and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes offer a panoramic view of the city.
Dal 2000 Verona was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its art, for its architecture and its urban structure, “excellent example of a fortified city”.
In the end, the surroundings of Verona must also be considered, such as Lake Garda, the Valpolicella area (don't miss San Giorgio di Valpolicella, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy), Lessinia which is the mountainous area behind the city, the east of Verona which includes beautiful villages such as, for example, Soave and south of Lake Garda there is Borghetto di Valeggio sul Mincio which is also part of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
