Arena di Verona, “the most Italian place on earth”
In the definition used today to present the Arena di Verona, deliberately expressed in the
world’s most widespread language, there is the synthesis of what this magnificent
amphitheatre embodies and bears witness to in the eyes of the beholder.
Two thousand years and a presence that astounds
The Arena of Verona has hosted fierce battles and spectacles of all kinds, has withstood
the environmental and social earthquakes that have shaken the land on which it stands,
has collected centuries of history and experienced profound transformations, always
remaining a point of reference for culture and art.
This amphitheatre is not only an incredible historical monument, but a living symbol of
Italian heritage, a fusion of past and present that excites and issues a clear invitation to
every citizen of the planet: you are welcome here.

Since 1913, when the first edition of Aida was performed here to celebrate the centenary

space of extraordinary evocative power, capable of framing the very essence of beauty. It
