Verona

Juliet's House
Verona is known for an attraction called "Juliet's House". There was a popular rumour which stated above was her balcony. Many have scribbled love notes and graffiti below the balcony. For good luck (or if you are in need of a new lover), approach the bronze statue of Juliet and rub her right breast - notice it is of lighter shade due to the many human touches. :)
Roman Arena
Above is a mini version of the Colosseum. It is a pink-marble Roman Arena which had become Verona's opera house. The outer wall was partially destroyed by a 12th-century earthquake.

UNESCO - The City of Verona is in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
