Wed 8th & Thur 9th Oct


Gargnano is just up the road, a pretty lakeside village and a typical example of the numerous settlements around the lake. Mussolini had a villa here from 1943 to 1945.
Thursday was our trip to Verona, by train. Verona is full of beautiful historical buildings from Roman times onwards, but is probably best associated with Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. The story has a proper historical basis and there were indeed two feuding families, the Montagues & Capulets, with events unfolding in the year 1302. The picture is of Juliet’s balcony in the Capulet’s house, as featured in the play. The arena was most impressive, looking like the Coliseum in Rome, but everybody’s seen pictures of that. Top marks for Verona in general: more history than you can shake a stick at.
