The city of Verona is named “city of love” for the great English playwright, Shakespeare, who wrote his most beautiful romantic opera, “Romeo and Juliet”, set right here. The writer isn’t never visited Verona but knowing it through the writings of Porto, Bandello and Salernitano compare it to Venice. One of the main routes to take start from the “House of Juliet”, which fascinates many tourists, and then visit the famous “Arena” (part of the Roman Age), which is the third largest Roman amphitheatre, and today is used to accommodate the famous opera festival arena. The monuments of this city are divided from the Age where the city stayed and we find the Medieval Age (where was built the “Duomo”), the Scala Age (where was built the “Palace of the Podestà”), the Venetian Age (where the control venetian was fruitful for building private and military) and the Austrian Age (where old buildings were fortified and built the “Teatro Nuovo”). Among the many routes we must not forget that nature and those religious.

Not far from the historic center of Rome, above Piazzale Clodio you may find a little and romantic restaurant. “The Zodiac” which takes its name from its location, in a panoramic position, on a hill 130 metres above the city.

You can taste, as well as delicious cocktails, fine course of the Italian and international classic cuisine, the classic pizza baked, in a unique atmosphere, candlelight, with live music and cabaret.
