Book excerpt: As you catch your first glimpse of the crystal-clear waters of Lake Garda with its endlessly long banks, you instantly begin envisioning sunset strolls through picturesque fishing villages and abandoning yourself to dolce far niente - the ineffable sweetness of doing nothing. Quite close by, Verona beckons you too - the city of the most famous and tragic lovers in the world, Romeo and Juliet, and of the ancient Roman arena with its annual opera festival. These are the sights and stories that leap to mind when one thinks of this region. But did you also know that the world's second-shortest river flows here? Or that the village of Limone did not get its name from its groves of lemon trees? Have you heard the true story of Juliet's famous balcony? Or the circumstances surrounding the 13th-century "Casa di Romeo" - the house in which the handsome young suitor could very well have lived? This guide will lead you to 111 special places rarely mentioned in conventional travel books, but which lend this history-laden idyll its sensual magic.

Download or read book Verona and Lake Garda written by Sergey Nikitin-Rimsky and published by Dom Publishers. This book was released on 2022 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. 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. The towns and villages around Lake Garda have long attracted tourists, and the selection in this volume reflects this. 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. Through his considered selection of buildings, historian and socio-urbanist Sergey Nikitin provides a sometimes-irreverent look at sights that range from the well-known to the more hidden, such as Carlo Scarpa's careful balancing of old and new in the Museo Castelvecchio, the magnificent 1930s tunnels on Strada Gardesana Occidentale, and even a traditional bakery for the complete Italian experience. The guide includes detailed addresses and maps for ease of visiting and a further reading list for those who want to explore the area from home first.

Download or read book Verona Vicenza Lake Garda the Veneto written by Marisa Fabris and published by Hunter Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guidebook to the region. An amazing resource for anyone traveling in the area. I highly recommend using this book as a reference tool. -- S. Johnson, Amazon reviewer.Italy's northernmost zone, the Veneto includes Padua, Verona, Vicenza, plus Venice itself, which once ruled the area. Some 5,000 Renaissance villas still stand, many by Palladio. A food- and wine-lover's paradise, it's also the most artistically rich region in Italy, and the most romantic, with the art of Giotto and Mantegna in Padua, the Roman ruins in Verona, the canals and palaces in Venice itself. Bellini, Tintoretto, Veronese and Titian worked here. Experience their art and be part of their world, with the insights of an insider. Every detail is here about the foods, the sights, the best places to stay and eat. Vicenza is an essential stop on the itineraries of architecture lovers and PalladioOCOs followers, but is unfortunately bypassed by many tourists traveling through the Veneto region who donOCOt realize what it has to offer. This well-kept secret has made remarkable cultural and economical contributions to the region and merits a visit, if only for a few hours.Vicenza is an important Renaissance city with an impressive number of buildings dating back to the 1500s, many of them attributed to Andrea Palladio. It was during this period that Andrea di Pietro della Gondola came to Vicenza as a 16 year-old stone mason and through a combination of his own talent and a fine network of mentors, grew to be the great architect who dramatically transformed VicenzaOCOs urban image. Palladio was commissioned to build palazzi for the cityOCOs wealthy residents, redesign several buildings which had been badly damaged by the League of Cambrai and to make the city better reflect the influence of the Republic of Venice. His finest works in the city include the Teatro Olimpico, the Basilica Palladiana and the Palazzo Chiericati. ItalyOCOs largest lake and one of its most visited vacation spots, Lake Garda is between the Alps and the Pianura Padana (Padana plains) with the Trentino region bordering it to the north, the Lombardy region to its west and the Veneto region to the east. As one of the most prosperous cities in northern Italy and the second-most visited in the Veneto, VeronaOCOs streets exhibit an interesting m(r)lange of Roman, medieval, Renaissance and Venetian influences. And with unmistakably firm roots in classical tradition, the city that underwent significant urban development following World War II has a cosmopolitan identity that its high-fashion stores and impeccably dressed businessmen reflect. At the crossroads of two important Roman roads, Verona served as a critical strategic and commercial center for many centuries. It began as a colony of the Roman Empire in the first century BC and was joined with the Empire in 49 BC. The arena, one of the worldOCOs best-preserved Roman amphitheaters, was built to accommodate upwards of 20,000 spectators and, along with the Roman theater and the cityOCOs gates, Verona maintains its Roman identity today.a These useful guides are highly recommended...

Book excerpt: Did you know that in Hungary, pigs go rof-rof-rof, but in Japan they go boo boo boo? That there’s apparently the need in Bolivia for a word that means "I was rather too drunk last night but it was all their fault"? Adam Jacot de Boinod's book on extraordinary words from around the world will give you the definitions and phrases you need to make friends in every culture. A true writer's resource and the perfect gift for linguists, librarians, logophiles, and international jet-setters. While there’s no guarantee you’ll never pana po’o again (Hawaiian for "scratch your head in order to help you remember something you’ve forgotten"), or mingmu (Chinese for "die without regret"), at least you’ll know what tingo means, and that’s a start. “A book no well-stocked bookshelf, cistern top or handbag should be without. At last we know those Eskimo words for snow and how the Dutch render the sound of Rice Krispies. Adam Jacot de Boinod has produced an absolutely delicious little book: It goes Pif! Paf! Pouf! Cric! Crac! Croc! and Knisper! Knasper! Knusper! on every page.”—Stephen Fry

Very easy to read and follow giving excellent information and details." S. K"I was so excited to see this book published just before our trip to Italy with our kids, ages 10 and 13. One of our stops in Italy was spending three days in the Dolomites and I was having a very hard time planning this part of the trip due to the fact it is left out of most guidebooks of Italy (I don't know why more Americans don't go here - it was our favorite stop!) This book was perfect for this. We also used the book in Venice and did a quick stop for lunch at a town on Lake Garda, also using recommendations of this book. I loved the format of this book, using suggested itineraries in each location which helped group different sites/activities together. It also gave a lot of opinions on what things are worth seeing and doing for kids of different ages when you have limited time. Once we arrived in Venice and realized how good the book was, we ended up relying on this book as our primary source for organizing our time in both Venice and the Dolomites. We also used many of the restaurants recommendations." R.H "Good book for families, good ideas for family fun which you don't find in lonely planet etc." A.C

I particularly like the listing and addresses for the ''adventures'' - which include anything from diving schools, bike and boat hire to art courses. The book doesn't seem quite as glossy as some other titles but the content is great - and clearly written by somebody who knows the region well. Maps are good too - including Milan metro map!" -- Amazon reviewer
