VERONA",<br>"body":"![IMG_20161009_231814.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmNinbTHDkvRnShoRDJpm4VqtjDtMaKQ99mowDc89T5ELm\/IMG_20161009_231814.jpg)\n\n\nThis time I travelled with my cousin and a friend to Verona. After a long walk from the train station in direction to Juliet's house,<br> we find the Scaligero bridge or Castelvecchio (old castle),<br> which is linked to the Castelveccio fortress (Venetian dialect) ) and is one of the 5 bridges of the city of Verona,<br> through which the Adige River passes.\n\nThe city of Verona is known worldwide for:\n\n1. The Arena (Roman amphitheater) where majestic concerts of music of all genres take place,<br> from opera to rock,<br> and performances.\n2. The Roman theater of the 1st century,<br> archaeological museum,<br> in summer time is used as a theater stage.\n\n![IMG-20161009-WA0050.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQgdtga4viDBXDcWfbPWQJ2Pvtd2Wn8jYZPHhecAkPKZH\/IMG-20161009-WA0050.jpg)\n\n![IMG-20161009-WA0043.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcKbmKmH6GsxBgsc1LA8MmKYGyu7sBDRT8apAp53kzYud\/IMG-20161009-WA0043.jpg)\n\n[on your left you can see the arch of the **Roman Theatre** and on your right **the Verona\u00b4s Arena** \n\n3. Juliet's house,<br> is the main tourist attraction of the city,<br> owes its fame to the tragedy of Shakespeare \"Romeo and Juliet\". In order to reach the most popular point of the house \"The balcony\",<br> it goes through a corridor,<br> which has its walls full of messages of love,<br> or desires left by tourists according to tradition.\n\n![IMG-20161009-WA0049.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfALfrqLyAx6aHVD9rtXsn2oD3ka8zXRcsjkJx6PugxTF\/IMG-20161009-WA0049.jpg)\n\n![IMG_20161009_232746.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXoznJzUXABYDscvdxhtVBo9SrkTc5dYnwkEKTwbyPFZZ\/IMG_20161009_232746.jpg)\n\nTo get on the balcony you pay a ticket and wait your turn,<br> that day despite the cold and rain there were many visitors,<br> under it there is a souvenir shop.\n\n![IMG_20161009_231344.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbwGP7FQYko6MDGyj9otnkmkN4Tw6Vzs3dXYL5XWpKQ3U\/IMG_20161009_231344.jpg)\n\nIn the courtyard of the house stays the bronze statue of Juliet,<br> says the legend,<br> if you touch one of her breasts you might return to Verona or find true love. And well I tried to see which one becomes true.\n\n![IMG_20161009_141128.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUWhr1kMBGmnp2WGVkff8ax1YwyK8igaEXXB8Ku9U64PZ\/IMG_20161009_141128.jpg)\n\nA few meters away is the \"Piazza delle Erbe\",<br> the largest and oldest in Verona,<br> where the street market is held,<br> and where many cafes and restaurants are located,<br> after so much walking,<br> we decided to go there for lunch and the plate that I tasted was \"cottecchino and brovada\",<br> although it is a typical food of the region of my grandparents **Friuli**,<br> it was served here in the Veneto region to me. Exquisite!!!\n\n![IMG-20161009-WA0037.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmRGPoqT74FY75F1JUUBqvUdT8hPwZHXQzyvGMfS7RwQzg\/IMG-20161009-WA0037.jpg)\n\nThis dish is preferably consumed in the cold months,<br> because of its high caloric content,<br> the brovada is the finely cut turnip and macerated in the hard liquor taken from the fine skin of the grape,<br> and the cottecchino is a large pork saussage which has to be cooked before eat it,<br> it is usually eaten in the New Year with lentils.\n\nBuon appetito!\n\n[Photos taken with my cell phone,<br> context about the city of Verona taken from my study books,<br> and the gastronomy one from what I learned with my family and the times I have eaten it .\n\nCiao,<br> ciao!",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"picture\",<br>\"travel\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"swmchallenge\",<br>\"steem\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmNinbTHDkvRnShoRDJpm4VqtjDtMaKQ99mowDc89T5ELm\/IMG_20161009_231814.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQgdtga4viDBXDcWfbPWQJ2Pvtd2Wn8jYZPHhecAkPKZH\/IMG-20161009-WA0050.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcKbmKmH6GsxBgsc1LA8MmKYGyu7sBDRT8apAp53kzYud\/IMG-20161009-WA0043.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfALfrqLyAx6aHVD9rtXsn2oD3ka8zXRcsjkJx6PugxTF\/IMG-20161009-WA0049.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXoznJzUXABYDscvdxhtVBo9SrkTc5dYnwkEKTwbyPFZZ\/IMG_20161009_232746.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbwGP7FQYko6MDGyj9otnkmkN4Tw6Vzs3dXYL5XWpKQ3U\/IMG_20161009_231344.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUWhr1kMBGmnp2WGVkff8ax1YwyK8igaEXXB8Ku9U64PZ\/IMG_20161009_141128.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmRGPoqT74FY75F1JUUBqvUdT8hPwZHXQzyvGMfS7RwQzg\/IMG-20161009-WA0037.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
