Where to buy a matchticket
by Calcio
There are some ticket-offices outside the Stadio Bentegodi, and it’s rare with a sold out-game. Only when Chievo meets Milan, Inter or Juventus it might be a good idea to buy tickets in advance, preferable via the homesite of Chievo (www. chievoverona.it). If you don’t find a ticket there, you’ll always find them on the black market outside the stadium before the game. Just watch out so you don’t get a false ticket, or end up paying way too much.
Verona-games are quite expensive, for a team in Serie B, and you’ll pay around 25-30 euro for a seat with a good view. 10-15 euro for a ticket in the curva.
Chievo are almost the same, 10-15 euro more expensive on the longsides maybe.
La fontana di Madonna Verona
by Jeca011
The fountain of Madonna Verona (or in Italian La fontana di Madonna Verona) is one of the city symbols. The fountain was erected at the wishes of Casignorio della Scala to celebrate the repair of the city's aqueduct. In 1368 she was repaired and it's one of the oldest in the city. It is constructed in the form of a female figure, dating back to Roman times. In her hands, she holds a scroll bearing the emblem of the city of Verona and she stands on a base on which are sculpted eight masks from which the water flows. On one of these you can see the epigraph "Marmorea Verona" - Verona Marble.
Opera Set up
by sandysmith
A favourite memory was going into the arena on the day that we saw the opera Aida in the evening. It was quite fascinating to seee the stage being prepared with all the props and trying to decide the best place for us to sit on the stone steps - the cheap unreserved ones where the acoustics are wonderful.
Piazza dei Signori - Palazzo della Podesta
by croisbeauty
The courtyard of Palazzo della Podesta with its Renaissance well, and with its Gothic open gallery, which used to be decorated with frescoes by Altichiero painted in the 14th century, is of particular interest.
Both this Palazzo and the nearby Church of Santa Maria Antica have close associations with Dante who found his "first refuge and welcome" in the home of the Scala family.
Gabinetti Pubblici - the place to powder your nose
by globetrott
Gabinetti Pubblici is the elegant expression for the place to powder your nose or talk to a man about a horse, and on Piazza Bra the sign for this place is even made in a special way as you may see it on my picture and it is lighted at night.
I may imagine that people, who have never heared of that expression would be searching for another sign, so be prepared !!
