My passage through the city of Romeo and Juliet and the Arena Amphitheater




Go to Verona is an elegant city in the articulation of Europe and the Mediterranean, east and west and where as has been written about it, the snaking across the Adige River, which was low, rolling hills, embrace. To the north lies the valley of the Adige, in a relief that rises to the Dolomites. To the south lies the Po Valley and a few miles to the west is the largest lake in Italy, Garda, made of Mediterranean climate and vegetation.

Sobe she bugle com exposes sensitive description with the Ponte Pietra front and the sun setting between ancient roofs, with the river water is still running, are forever crossing the bridge on foot, on horses' hooves on carriages , the Romans, the French, the Ostrogoths, the Venetians. The bridge whose grayness is increasingly black, suggests that companies have made their wealth in times when they were rich.

The Veronese have been masters in the art of preserving it, in view of teachers, were able to distinguish as portents. Already in the sixteenth century, a commission for the restoration of The Arena and the Ponte Pietra was rebuilt several times, among them completely in 1298 and again completely and with its original stone in 1945, when it was destroyed by bombs.

When writing about this beautiful city reminds us that with the fall of the Venetian Republic and the arrival of Napoleon, Verona became a strategic point in the scene of numerous batallas.En the first half of the nineteenth century became a military stronghold of the Austrian Empire and in 1866 finally became a city in the Kingdom of Italy is definitely going to Verona represents a great opportunity to tap into the love story that is known worldwide as the Romeo and Juliet , enjoy not only what was written on it, but go to the very house where the balcony is enclosed sentiment.

The label's most popular tourist Verona is the story of Romeo and Juliet. He searched and searched intricacies of this legend is assured that it is based on fact and that the first version appeared in the sixteenth century, when a friar narrated the drama that had happened some 200 years antes.El English Shakespeare would have been a more of the thieves who ended Verona bequeathing a pilgrimage site for lovers maestra.Destino around the world is the house of Capulet, with Juliet's balcony, covered with graffiti and messages of love in doorways. Also shown is the home of Romeo and Juliet's tomb in the crypt of San Francesco al Corso, a monastery recóndito.Sobre Romeo and Juliet that CCOUNT gives us the story of two young lovers who, despite opposition from their families , competing with each other, decided to fight for her life to be married in secret, but the pressure of the rivalry and a number of fatalities lead to suicide of two lovers.

This is one of the most popular English author and, along with Hamlet and Macbeth, which has been performed more times. Although the story is part of a long tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity, the argument is based on the English translation (The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, 1562) of an Italian tale of Matthew Bandello, Brooke made by Arthur , which was based on the French translation made by Pierre Boaistuau in 1559. Meanwhile, in 1582, William Painter made a prose version from Italian and French stories, published in the collection of stories Palace of Pleasure.

Shakespeare took several elements of both works, though, in order to expand the story, created new secondary characters like Mercutio and Paris. Some sources say he began writing in 1591, coming to an end in 1595. However, others support the hypothesis that the finished writing in 1597.

Notably, as discussed, which related to whether there were Romeo and Juliet is ambiguous. There are records where Giralomo della Corte, an Italian who lived in Shakespeare's time, says the relationship of the two young lovers had actually occurred in 1303, although this could not be proven with certainty. [All I can say is that families Montague and Capulet really do exist, although it is unclear if they lived on the Italian Peninsula and you can not certify that they have been rivals. Another literary source which mentions the two families is The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri Italian. In this poem, Dante cites the Montagues and the Capulets as participants in a trade dispute and politics in Italy. In the same material, both families are in purgatory, sad and desolate. For the historian Olin Moore were two major political parties that were rivaled in Italy: the Ghibellines and the Guelphs. Echoing the same aspect is Luigi da Porto. However, several scholars believe that these families never existed, Lope de Vega and Matteo Bandello believed that people had enriched the "belief" of its existence over time.

Indeed, when one comes to the house on Via Capellode No.23 Giulieta, It is found at the entrance on the walls thousands of messages written on the wall, and stuck with cards, white pieces of paper left by all who visit it, the fine is the balcony and a statue of Giulieta where all photos are taken, especially men who according to tradition it should touch the chest with one hand because it is a matter of luck for love, of course there are recordings euro can be heard a story of love in all major languages, as well as souvenir shop for those who want a souvenir of that visit.

Another interesting place to visit is the Arena Amphitheatre very famous in the world at present by the extraordinary operations performed on it. Structures is one of the best preserved of its kind

It is noted that the building was built in 30 AD in a place that was far outside the city walls. The ludii (shows and games) that were staged there were so famous that viewers would come from many other places, sometimes very distant. The amphitheater has a capacity of 000 spectators para22 and maybe more.

It is named for the sand that covered the center court. It was built in the first century during the reign of Augustus, is the third largest amphitheater in Europe, with 140 meters long and up to 22,000 spectators. With its impressive acoustic and ride spaces that allow great scenery, is known for the many performances of opera that takes place there, which began in 1913. Structures is one of the best preserved of its kind.

The facade was originally limestone, white and pink, Valpolicella, but after an earthquake in 1117 that nearly destroyed the outer ring, with the exception of the so-called Ala, the Arena was used as a quarry for other buildings. Early interventions that were made to restore functionality as theater took place in the Renaissance.

Over time this amphitheater has multiple functions: ring circus war years jail, a concert hall for the European kings of the Holy Alliance, and currently riding arena since 1913, home to one of the more lyrical festivals important lyrical Italy.

Each year the Arena di Verona, becomes the perfect one day dreamed of Verdi or Puccini. From July to September, the city's streets fill with tourists looking for an entry for the giant amphitheater in the Roman world after, of course, the Colosseum in Rome.

No doubt c when writing about their beauty, majesty and thanks to its impressive acoustics, the building is suitable for concerts. This practice began in 1913. Today, about four standard repertory operas are produced each year between June and August.
