Introduction

The Arena di Verona, built in the 1st century AD, is among the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres, seating over 20,000. Its rose-coloured stone arcades are majestic, and though damaged by medieval earthquakes it still stands proud. Each summer it becomes one of the world's great opera stages, staging Aida, Turandot and more under the stars — the most fervent cultural heart of the 'city of love'.
