Verona's Liberation: A glimpse into April 24-25, 1945
LIBERATION DAY IN VERONA.THE END OF WORLD WAR II

In the waning days of World War II, Verona- Italy, became a pivotal stage for the unfolding drama of liberation.

On April 24, 1945, Allied forces, led by the British Eighth Army, entered the city, marking the beginning of the end for German occupation. The streets echoed with the footsteps of liberators as they navigated through a city that had long endured the burden of wartime occupation.

April 25, 1945, witnessed the formal surrender of N**i forces in Verona, cementing the city's liberation. Joyous celebrations erupted across Verona's squares and alleys, as the residents tasted freedom after years of hardship.
Amid the jubilation, it's crucial to acknowledge the role of the Resistenza, the Italian resistance movement.

The events of April 24-25, 1945, were not only a military triumph but also a testament to the resilience of those who resisted oppression.

The"Resistenza", comprised of brave individuals from various backgrounds, played a pivotal role in weakening the occupiers and paving the way for liberation.As we reflect on Verona's wartime history, the spirit of the "Resistenza" stands as a reminder that collective resistance against tyranny and injustice is a powerful force that can shape the course of history. An enduring symbol of the indomitable human spirit.

The term “ghetto” finds its linguistic roots in Venice, Italy, tracing back to the Venetian dialect word “ghèto,” meaning ‘foundry.’ The origin of the word has then nothing negative.

In 1516, the Venetian Republic established the world’s first ghetto in the Cannaregio district, confining Jewish residents to that designated area.
The intent was to segregate and control the Jewish population, a practice that later spread to other European cities.


As the concept of ghettos expanded, they became synonymous with enforced segregation.

During the Counter-Reformation, Pope Paul IV implemented similar measures in Rome, and ghettos emerged in cities like Florence, Bologna, and Padua.
This institutionalized discrimination persisted for centuries.

The Jewish Ghetto of Verona, established in 1599, reflects this historical pattern.

Despite Italy’s unification in the 19th century, the ghetto of Verona continued to exist until 1866.
The bronze bar that now lies where the walls that once confined the Jewish community stood, is as a poignant reminder of a complex past.

Today, the area preserves its rich history, with a synagogue offering insight into the challenges faced by the Jewish population over the centuries.

The Jewish district of Verona encapsulates this narrative, standing as both a testament to resilience and a symbol of the ongoing quest for inclusion and understanding.

Take a tour with us to discover the landmarks of the Jewish Heritage in Verona.

Summer 2023: a weaponless staging of Aida in the Roman Arena
AN UNCONVENTIONAL AND SURPRISING AIDA: A CLASSIC IS BORN

As the sun dips below the horizon, opera enthusiasts eagerly gather for a spectacular rendition of Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece: Aida.
However, 2023 Summer Opera Festival brought an unexpected twist to the classic tale, one that left audiences both surprised and enchanted.
The director's bold choice to omit traditional weapons from the production has turned Aida into a mesmerizing dance of diplomacy rather than a battlefield brawl. Instead of clashing swords and clanging shields, the characters engage in elaborate hand gestures, transforming the stage into a visual feast of choreographed elegance.
The decision to nix the weapons might raise an eyebrow or two initially, but it seamlessly integrates into the larger theme of the production.
The absence of physical weapons shifts the focus to the characters' emotional struggles and strategic wit..
The director's vision not only challenges convention but also encourages the audience to appreciate the power of storytelling beyond the clangor of battle.
As the curtain falls, the audience is left with a newfound appreciation for this timeless tale.
Bravo to the director for orchestrating a spectacle that transcends expectations and leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of opera enthusiasts.

Legendary soprano Maria Callas kick-started her career in Verona
IN 1947 IN LA GIOCONDA BY PONCHIELLI WAS THE ITALIAN DEBUT OF MARIA CALLAS

In the enchanting city of Verona, amidst the echoes of operatic masterpieces, one name stands out — Maria Callas, the legendary soprano whose voice transcended time and space.

Maria Callas, born in New York City in 1923, found her home in the heart of Verona, Italy. In the picturesque amphitheater, she graced the stage during the summer opera festival, captivating audiences with her unparalleled vocal prowess.

For years, Verona became the backdrop for Callas's mesmerizing performances. The Roman amphitheater, with its ancient stone walls, echoed with the emotive resonance of her voice, casting a spell on all who were fortunate enough to witness her artistry.

She brought Verona to life with her passion.
Her performances were like a symphony that intertwined with the very soul of our city.

Maria Callas's years in Verona were a harmonious blend of art and culture, leaving an indelible mark on the city's legacy.

Today, as we celebrate her contributions, Verona remains forever indebted to the diva who graced its stages and made operatic history.

Ask us to show you the restaurant she used to dine and where in Verona she owned an apartment, as you take a tour in Verona with us.

A 1894 super star baker
THE GOLDEN BREAD OF DOMENICO MELEGATTI

The legendary Christmas cake of all Italians was born... in Verona!
In the year 1894 a confectionery legend was born—the Pandoro cake, a masterpiece crafted by the ingenious Domenico Melegatti.

Our journey into the origins of this delightful creation takes us back to the 19th century, where Melegatti, a visionary pastry chef, sought to elevate the holiday spirit through his culinary artistry.

Inspired by the festive atmosphere of Verona and the desire to create a unique holiday treat, Melegatti unveiled the Pandoro in the early 20th century. Its name, "pan d'oro" meaning "golden bread," perfectly encapsulates the cake's radiant appearance and echoes the sunlit streets of Verona.

The Pandoro's distinct star shape, a nod to the Christmas star, immediately set it apart. Melegatti's innovative approach and commitment to quality ingredients ensured that this golden delight became a symbol of holiday joy not only in Verona but across the globe.

As we savor the timeless appeal of the Pandoro, let us celebrate Giandomenico Melegatti's legacy—a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship that define Veronese confectionery. Today, our enjoyment of this exquisite cake is a tribute to Melegatti's vision and the enduring spirit of Verona's culinary innovation.

Along our city tour we never miss the Melegatti palace, located in full downtown Verona, for spotting two stone made pandoro at its top: [email protected]

Today we reflect on the rich traditions that define our communities. An enchanting one is the celebration of Santa Lucia on December 13th. This cherished event holds a special place in the hearts of Veronese families, as it marks a unique way of spreading warmth and light during the festive season.

Between heaven and earth.
Clinging on the rock of the Monte Baldo, the Madonna della Corona overlooks the Adige river valley.

2,540 ft above sea level, in the past it could be reached only through a very dangerous, winding trail cut in the steep rock.

All over Europe, shrines dedicated to the Virgin Mary are very meaningful places foir the local identity.
The Madonna della Corona shrine makes no exception.
Nowadays it is a center of spirituality and silence, open all year long in an incredible environment, 30 minutes from lake Garda. A little discovery that you make after a short 20 minutes walk from the close by parking lot.
Slowly you get into the religious and meditative atmosphere of the place.
Pope John Paul II was there in the year 1988.

The making of Verona next future
VERONA INDUSTRIAL PAST, RE-IMAGINED FOR A NEW CITY LIFE
you explore a site that was a 1930’s logistic infrastructure and that individuals, companies and associations with a vision for the future of Verona are currently re-imagining.

We reach the South Side of Verona with a 10 minutes taxi ride and start exploring the Magazzini Generali district. Here in the 1930’s the Veronese interpreted modernity: not in the residential architecture, but in industry and logistics.

The agri-food production had become the leading economic asset in Verona.

Fruit and vegetables were distributed from Verona throughout the South and the North of Europe: there was an Ice Factory and a refrigerating station.
It could be entered by train wagons and fresh produce were unloaded and sorted like in a modern logistical hub of Amazon!

The triangle-shaped area includes:
A stunning dome
More than 20 ex- warehouses, now restored
Buildings from the 1930’s restyled by post- modern Swiss architect Mario Botta

You feel as if you were walking along docks, but without being on the water!

The tour also features a visit to the “hyper-Gothic” sanctuary of Saint Teresa of Lisieux, crowded with pilgrims

In Northern Italy we are risotto lovers. In fact we eat less pasta than other Italians. Rice is always on the menu of family celebrations: birthdays, weddings, Easter and Christmas. Rice can be cooked with literally every fresh ingredient the season has to offer:
- asparagus in the spring
- zucchini in the summer
- mushrooms and pumpkin in the fall
- a local kind of cured meat called tastasal

Stirring the grains of rice, make them release their starch content, giving the typical creaminess that is so delicious... without excess of butter and fats.

Cooking time is key for a good al dente risotto: 14 minutes is the cooking time for the locally grown variety, the POD rice Vialone Nano Veronese
In fact in Verona not only we are rice lovers: we are also proud rice producers: in the Low Lands not only you find water flooded paddy fields, but also excellent restaurants to try it.
We know where they are!
You can book our Remote Agritour for discovering them!
