3 July - We headed eastwards across Northern Italy and took stops at two very beautiful and historic cities.
 |
| Mantova (Mantua) had a very historic town centre. The round building is a Roman building, now a church. Other buildings dated from the 1500's. |
 |
| Palazzo Ducale, Mantova |
 |
| On to Verona, famous for its opera festivals. This Roman arena is now used for outdoor operas. |
 |
| Verona was very spacious and much of the inner city is pedestrian only so it was a pleasure to walk around and explore. |
 |
| This gate, La Porta Borsari, was built between 50 and 40 BC. |
 |
| Markets were busy both in Mantova and here in Verona. |
 |
| Famous, and very old frescoes in Verona. |
 |
| Yes, we are in Italy! |
