Bharti tells us all about Verona, his city of romance and history.
We trace the steps of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and take a romantic “passeggiate lungo l'Adige”, a walk along the Adige river. We visit some impressive sights, including the Piazza delle Erbe, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, before finally ending the evening at a medieval castle. And of course, Barthi has some insider tips for us: What’s the tradition behind the carnival in Verona? What are “vini D.O.C.”? And why is there a giant bone hanging in the middle of the city?
