Verona Live Cam

Embraced in the arch-like meanders of the River Adige, Sitting at the feet of the hills of Lessinia rolling down to the plans lost in mists, and bathed in the breezes from Monte Baldo and the parfume of Lake Garda, Verona has always found itself at the centre of Italian and European history.

It is the home of Valerius Catullus and Vitruvius, the city where Julius Gaesar loved to stay, marvellously planned and solidly founded with splendid gates (Porta Borsari e Porta Leona) in 49B.C. under the hegemony of the Publilia tribe. It is the city which built its walls in seven months when, in 256 A.D., the Empire was terrorised by invasions; it is also the city of Theodoric, the great King of the Ostrogoths, to whose legend is attributed even the construction of the Arena; it is the city of Alboin and Rosamunda and the Longobard Dukes who here saw the emergence of the richest flowering of their culture. It is the city of Charlemagne and his son, King Pepin; Imperial Capital and seat of the Emperor Berengar I, the site of Diets and Consistories, of Conclaves and historic Congresses.
