Description: If you visit Verona, it is difficult to miss the Arena di Verona, the Roman arena built in 30 AD. It's apparently the best preserved of such structures in the old Roman world. At almost 2000 years old, it is still in use as a venue for opera performances. We weren't able to get tickets, sold-out, but from the balcony of the place we were staying, you could happily sit and listen to the performances. It was the most delightful experience.
Description: With the establishment of the Arena Foundation in 1913, a revolutionary idea that brought outdoor opera music for the first time in history, the Hotel Colomba d’Oro, being the only luxury hotel so close to the Arena, became a reference point for the great opera stars and for the opera fans. The Hotel was subjected to an important renovation in 1929 that turned it into the most luxurious hotel in Verona. The elevator was also installed, a technological rarity for the time, in whose structure the current machinery now goes up and down. Among the many celebrities hosted in our rooms, we can boast the dialectal Roman poet Trilussa and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, author of the well-known manifesto of Futurism.
