Verona — the second biggest city in the Veneto
region (after Venice) is one of the most prosperous
in northern Italy. Its ancient city has many
magnificent Roman remains, (second only to those
of Rome itself), and ‘palazzi’ built of rosso di
Verona’, the local pink tinged limestone by the
city’s medieval rulers. Verona has two main focal
points, the massive first century AD Arena and the
Piazza Erbe with its colourful market, separated by
a maze of narrow lanes lined with some of Italy’s
most elegant boutiques.

Giudecca’s principal monument is Palladio’s church of Il
Redentore (the Redeemer). It was built in 1577-92 in
thanksgiving for the end of the 1576 plague, which wiped out a
third of the city’s population. Every year since its creation, the
doge and his entourage would visit the church, crossing from
the Zattere on a bridge of boats. The Feast of the Redeemer
is still celebrated on the third weekend in July. The church of Il
Redentore, styled on the architecture of ancient Rome, is a
masterpiece of harmony and proportion.
