“In fair Verona, where we lay our scene...”

Between 5:30am yesterday and 5:30am today were the best 24 hours I have yet had in Italy. Gardens of obeliskine trees amid hedges and fountains beneath a hilltops rustic walkway to a breathtaking view at and over the treetops. A circumference of ruins. Balconies, battlegrounds, and battlements; theatrics, theatres, and amphitheatres. Roman jewels, Romeo & Juliet. The Arige makes the Arno look like the Tiber. Verona is a city laden with so much romance that I wish I had not seen it, so that I could experience its wonder on my honeymoon.

I went to be alone and found myself with people; there’s a lesson there.

“...There is no world without Verona walls...”
