    Description

    Maps, guides and a souvenir postcard book for Verona, a city of 250,000 in Northern Italy, famous as the setting for two Shakespeare plays (
    The Two Gentlemen of Verona,
    and, of course,
    Romeo and Juliet
    ), as well as the magnificent Verona Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheater from the 1st Century AD, that is, remarkably, still in use today (one of the best preserved Roman monuments). And with a well-preserved city center (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Verona is one of Northern Italy’s top tourist attractions.
    Includes a colorful vintage foldout tourist map & guide of Verona (from Bonagiuinti, 1962, In English and Italian); another, equally colorful but more recent map & guide to Verona, the Medieval center of town built around a series of bends in the Adige River (from Lozzi Maps, 2011); and a souvenir postcard book for Verona, featuring a dozen postcards (attached accordion-style) of Verona’s most prominent sights (including the Verona Arena, the Castel Vecchio Bridge, the Piazza Dei Signori, the Roman Theater and Juliet’s Balcony) and a map of the ancient city center (from Ancora, circa 1980).
