What To Eat In Verona Italy (Food Tour - Part 1)

[@albertzarzana5326]

Mark, I have just found your KZbin videos and love them. I am 80 years old and have been traveling Europe mostly Italy for over 40 years and you have shown me things I never seen before thank you.

[@edwinsarri]

Nice. I know very nice Verona. You need to visit all the "lago di garda" or "lago di tenno".

[@reycosep5916]

Nice tour guide VIVA Verona ❤

Verona steeped in history ,tradition , hospitality and excellent cuisine. A great testimonial to the people of northern Italy who have suffered much and you documented their exuberance and love of life, Bravo! Great vlog!

Fun video. A few years back my AirBnB hostess in Mantova took me to Verona for a day visit, and her favorite local treat was the hot chocolate the serve just off that plaza.

[@EuroTrotter]

What a fun memory, and I'm glad you liked the video Ted...it's such a magical place, fairly compact, but fairly fairy tale feeling!

[@lynxnel7431]

[@janetlombardi2314]

Another stunning part of Italy expensive but awsome

[@EuroTrotter]

It is yes, but sooo beautiful!

[@ted.angell7609]

I can only travel in winter, but if you’re there during opera season, you should treat yourself to a show at the Arena. The series “Opera Explained” by Thomsen Smillie on Audible, is a great one-hour primer to get you ready for a particular work. He assumes the listener doesn’t know anything about opera, because most people don’t, and he gets you up to speed without patronizing. Because of the size and openness of the Arena, the stage and set is unlike any other. For $5 on premieropera.com you can get a DVD of Nabucco, by Verdi, performed there at the Arena. The costumes and makeup you just have to see for yourself. When they come to the Hebrew slave song, “Và, pensiero”, which is the unofficial national anthem of Italy, it’s with the lights out under a full moon, and it gives you goose bumps.

[@EuroTrotter]

Wow, that's awesome and I would LOVE to see an opera there! Thank you so much for the info, wow, and Nabucco...sounds perfect!

[@ted.angell7609]

The same person who recommended Thomsen Smillie to me also recommended L’elisir d’amore (The love potion) as the first opera I should see. It’s still my favorite; the music is fantastic, and the characters and story are fun and easy to follow. And something notable about Donizetti is all his humorous operas have a thread of seriousness running through them, while his serious works have a thread of humor or irony. To me, this clip is a perfect example of the seriousness in L’elisir d’amore: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6HGin97rNeeaac Up to this point it’s all been fun and games and silliness about a naïf lovesick young man, a quack doctor who sells him cheap wine telling him it’s a magical love potion, and a comically bombastic army officer who is his competition for the girl. Suddenly all of that is stripped away, and it’s just the young man on stage, having just been struck by the realization that the girl he loves so much loves him back. With just enough instrumentation to set the tone, a bassoon (an odd but perfect choice) and a harp, you don’t just hear the words, you FEEL with him his elation as he realizes how his whole destiny has just changed. You don’t have to understand the words to feel the emotions, because Italian opera in particular does not emphasize clarity of words, which is why they always put subtitles (technically supertitles) above the stage so that Italian audiences can understand Italian performers singing in archaic Italian. To me this is a perfect snapshot of the multifaceted beauty of opera, where they use poetry, drama and especially music, together to PROJECT emotions to the audience. This is Rolando Villazón, originally from Mexico, at the state opera house of Vienna. He looks like Mr. Bean, which you won’t be able to unsee 😂.

[@EuroTrotter]

Ted Angell it sounds great Ted and now it’s on my bucket list....

[@ted.angell7609]

“...oh heavens, I could die... die of love.” ❤️

[@ted.angell7609]

EURO TROTTER once things blow over, if you’d like to go to the opera house in Parma, I’m friends with the house doctor there. She only speaks Italian, but she’s a great lady and knows absolutely everybody. She could give you a backstage glimpse and introduce you to a lot of interesting folks. That would make a great video- Mark and Ryan at the opera! You just can’t record during the performance. Parma is Verdi’s hometown, or the closest major city to his village anyway, so it’s the center of all things Verdi.

[@Celea484]

I am going to visit Verona with my husband this weekend and I can’t wait to go to that restaurant and taste the risotto and focaccia bread followed by the tiramisu. Thanks for sharing this video. ❤❤. It is very useful. And of course visiting the city and discover that marvellous architecture ❤

Hi Paul, I just got the knives, that was expensive enough lol.

[@paullee5449]

You get what you pay for as we say in Liverpool And talk about going the extra mile Sharpening your knives superior service and knives

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

Paul Lee that is typical in all of northern Italy, it's called "Tagliere di salumi" and tagliere is "cutting board" and salumi are "cured meats". You can find it with some variations of composition (and at least 3 different cheese, not just one) anywhere from Turin to Verona and all the places in between, the more you get close to the Alps the more the specialties become "wild" and include boar salame, duck prosciutto and very strong and tasty mountain cheese types.

[@masterjunky863]

Yes, it's very beautiful but as a city in Veneto it's obscured by the shadow of Venice.

[@MandyJonas97]

Fun fact about Ponte Pietra: in the exact middle there is a Stone that used to sign the border between the Verona owned by Napoleone and the Austrian Verona (or Veronetta, little verona but with a bad meaning).

[@gigisummer109]

Beautiful videography!!! Love how you are so positive and immerse yourself in the culture!!! I can almost taste the food!!!

[@antonioturra9084]

Complimenti per il bel video. Naturalmente per visitare bene Verona servirebbero almeno tre giorni con almeno uno nel vicino lago di Garda. Verona ha almeno quattro cattedrali ricche di storia e di opere d'arte che andrebbero visitate, parlo del Duomo, e delle cattedrali di San Zeno (dove Shakespeare ambientò il matrimonio di Giulietta e Romeo), di Sant'Anastasia e di San Fermo. Inoltre Castel Vecchio, fortezza del 1300, con il suo ponte sull'Adige, via Sottoriva in riva all'Adige, con i suoi romantici locali con vista su Ponte Pietra e la collina del Castel San Pietro sulla Riva sinistra dell'Adige. Sulla riva sinistra sotto la collina di San Pietro è da visitare il Teatro Romano di un secolo più antico dell'Arena e dove seduti su quelle antiche pietre, durante tutto il periodo estivo si può assistere ad una ricca stagione di spettacoli musicali e teatrali! Sulla cima della collina, spicca Castel San Pietro, una costruzione del periodo Austriaco e dal quale si può godere di una vista mozzafiato sulla città e dei romanticissimi tramonti. La parte della città che si estende sulla riva sinistra dell'Adige viene chiamata Veronetta, è sede dall'Università e vi si trovano alcuni importanti palazzi rinascimentali. Sicuramente da visitare è palazzo Giusti con i suoi stupendi giardini che sono fra i più famosi e ben tenuti giardini rinascimentali d'Italia. Voglio spendere alcune parole per descrivere meglio il riso all'Amarone. È un piatto pregiato, tipico di Verona, difficilmente si può gustare altrove, ha un gusto intenso e delicato. Tutti gli ingredienti sono pregiati ad iniziare dal riso "vialone nano" coltivato nelle valli a sud della città. Il vino "Amarone" è uno dei vini più pregiati al mondo. Il formaggio usato NON è il Parmigiano, come erroneamente indicato nel video, ma un formaggio di montagna a media stagionatura "monte veronese" che viene prodotto sulle colline e prealpi a nord della città.

[@MaddalenaMalaspinaG]

Beautiful video, but the neapolitan music... why????

[@carolprofessoressa3237]

Maddalena, c'è la musica napoletana in questo video perché molti stranieri credono che la musica napoletana faccia parte di tutte le regione italiane. È una cosa che dà fastidio addirittura a me, che non sono italiana!!!

[@robinfereday6562]

How did Shakespeare know about the balcony when he never visited Italy 😳?

[@EuroTrotter]

robin fereday he was wise past his years lol

[@manuelemariani8188]

Cause Shakespeare was Italian actually. From sicily to be precise (Michelangelo Florio Scrolallanza was his Real name)

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

robin fereday According to some studies W. Shakespeare did travel to Italy when he was 28 in 1592 to escape the plague that then struck London and England. Moreover it's a fact that he chose as environments for many of his plays (15 out of 37) Italy and certain Italian cities, precisely Venezia, Verona and Messina in Sicily. There is also a theory based on documents by which W. Shakespeare was just a "nòm d'arte" because he factually was an Italian from Sicily that adopted such measure in the hope of having more chances of success in Britain in which he moved with his family of merchants.

[@branc2658]

Well, actually the Arena of Verona it's an amphitheatre. You know, the round thing. The word "amphi" of Greek origin means 'around, on both sides, double' (amphitheatre = double theatre). The Taormina's one, for example, is a theatre, that is half an amphitheatre. Just saying.

[@mibelloaleman]

What I hate about these travel videos is how they misinform viewers. You stated that "Casa Juliet" dates back to the 14th century, when in fact it is a modern building built in 1899 or 1905. I've visited Italy many times and made friends with several Italians who ALL told me that the most gullible tourists on the planet are Americans. They believe everything they tell them and they love mocking them because of their degree of gullibility. You just proved them right. Also, I confirmed the age of this building from the Italian Tourist board when I attended an Italian travel expo. They stated that Italians peddle this bs story because Americans are SO gullible. They said the owner of this building made it to look like a medieval house as a tourist cash cow and he's laughing all the way to the bank! Even more ridiculous is the fact that Romeo and Juliet never existed. It's like saying Casa di Godzilla! And on top of that, you have ridiculous females dragging their boyfriends to a place that holds no significance whatsoever! You should check your facts first. Rick Steves you're not.

[@giovannimoriggi5833]

I'm Italian, living in Verona, and maybe you didn't understand really well what they told you… Just the balcony is a fake situation stetted up in the early '900 (but not the building and the materials), and yes, Romeo and Juliet were fictional characters, but everyone knows it! The meaning of that build is to show an example of house about their times. And people uses to go there just to romantically dream. You're more rude than pragmatic and prepared, my friend.
