Verona and Lake Garda: With an Excursion to Valpolicella Nikitin Sergey
A city that has existed for over 2,000 years, Verona has a wealth of historic architecture: from Ancient Roman masterworks such as the Arena, through seventeenth-century neoclassical gems like the Gran Guardia Palace, to inventive recent restorations and adaptations. The towns and villages around Lake Garda have long attracted tourists, and the selection in this volume reflects this. Its Gothic and Romanesque edifices - frequently constructed in pink brick - are a particular highlight.The architectural remnants of every period of the history of this UNESCO-listed city is covered here, in the first architectural guide to Verona, Lake Garda, and Valpolicella.
Through his considered selection of buildings, Villas and hotels loom large, including the eccentric villa complex constructed by the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, with its First World War gunship built into the grounds.
