Spettacoli dell'Arena

Verona's amphitheater is one of the finest surviving Roman monuments in Italy, and we have made it the stage for the greatest public Spettacoli in the north — bullfights, pageants, and civic competitions that draw crowds from Venice and the Terraferma for days at a time. No other city can offer this scale of spectacle inside ancient Roman stone, and the tradition has become inseparable from how Verona understands itself, a republic that still performs its identity before thousands of witnesses in a space built two thousand years ago. This reputation for public magnificence spreads our name across northern Italy and draws visitors whose spending and whose letters home do more for our standing than any envoy we could send.
