A very beautiful place, on the banks of the Adige river, it is a must in the history of Verona , which maintains intact the warm, informal and exclusive atmosphere that has always distinguished it.
Its terrace, which looks directly onto Ponte Pietra, the Roman Theater and Castel San Pietro , is now known to both the Veronese and tourists for the possibility of spending evenings enlivened by the sound of the river in the background. The “Cappa” café is a fascinating meeting place, music and soft lights with large sofas and floor cushions create a large living room where you can enjoy cocktails with friends.

The Ponte Pietra is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona.
It originally flanked another Roman bridge, the Pons Postumius; both structures provided the city with access to the Roman theatre on the east bank. The arch nearest to the right bank of the Adige was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala. Four arches of the bridge were blown up by retreating German troops in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957 with original materials.

The town of Civita di Bagnoregio stands on a small hill, dominating from above the valleys of the two small torrents Torbido and Chiaro , the feature that immediately catches the eye when observing the small hamlet, and for which the town is so famous in the whole world, is to rise in the valley of gullies and to be in an isolated position with respect to the rest of the other countries, the reason being that the clayey hill on which Civita di Bagnoregio was born has undergone for centuries a very strong erosion due to atmospheric phenomena, and crumbling slowly and inexorably, the town is today almost totally uninhabited and can only be accessed by means of a single road, made of concrete.
The view from the belvedere, the only starting point for reaching the town of Civita di Bagnoregio on foot, is breathtaking… a narrow concrete road leads, climbing towards the end, to a fairytale village that seems to be suspended between myth and history, a magical and mystical place, ancient houses that rise around the main square, where the Church of San Donato stands, and others facing the valley of the gullies, giving the visitor a unique view of its kind, with the sensation of being suspended in the void, supported by some mysterious force that still today guards this village.

Magically suspended between the blue sky and the iridescent colored sea, the Amalfi coast seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use the warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first shot, giving thrilling experience and such evocative view to doubt, for a moment, it is real. It is the land where the sweet scent of lemon blossoms harmonizes itself with the most aromatic one of the Mediterranean vegetation and the acrid aroma of saltiness; where the brilliant colors of the majolica domes, bougainvillea and carnations pergolas give an evident colored touch to the typical whitewashed houses, clinging to the last offshoots of the Lattari Mounts that plunge dramatically into the sea. A vertical landscape, in short, characterized by a picturesque labyrinth of stairways and narrow alleys, connecting the two main elements of this landscape: the mountains and the sea. A continuous succession of headlands and inlets, bays and fjords, interspersed with pebbled beaches and rocks on which you can still see the ancient viceregal towers, the first bulwark of the local population against the Saracen attacks. The shift from the sea to mountain is seamless: the mountain sides were terraced over the centuries, shaped by human labor to create flaps of arable land and already compared, during the Renaissance period, to the legendary Hesperides by the Italian writer and naturalist Giambattista Della Porta. All the towns of the Amalfi coast are connected by the scenic SS. 163 road, built in the first half of the XIX century during the Bourbon period and always considered one of the most beautiful road in Italy. Following the natural course of the coastline, the route is full of curves, nestled between the rock and the sea cliffs, giving new and spectacular shots at the exit of every tunnel or hairpin bend. Before the construction of the coastal road, locals reached all the towns via mule tracks and footpaths, still existing and particularly appreciated by trekking lovers for the stunning views that can be enjoyed.

The visit to the Prisons begins with a small downhill staircase that leads from the Sala del Magistrato alle Leggi into a narrow corridor that is nothing more than one of the two crossings of the famous Bridge of Sighs. "The Bridge of Sighs" was built in 1614 to join the Doge's Palace to the adjacent building for the New Prisons. Closed and covered, it consists of two corridors separated by a wall. One connects the Prisons to the Rooms of the Magistrate to the Laws and the Quarantia Criminal on the main floor of the Doge's Palace; the other connects the Prisons with the Avogaria Rooms and the Parlor. Both corridors are also connected to the service staircase that goes from the Wells up to the Piombi. The famous nickname of "bridge of sighs" dates back to the romantic era, and refers to the sigh of the prisoner who, leaving the court of the Palace, crosses the canal crossing the bridge to reach the cell in which he will serve his sentence and can barely glimpse, through the small windows, the lagoon, San Giorgio, freedom. From the bridge you can access the New Prisons.
The bridge of sighs connects the court at Ducale Palace with the prison across the canal.
You can ride "a gondola" to see the Bridge of Sighs and Ducale Palace.
Venice's gondola is a specialty that has been running since the 11th century and has a slim hull and a flat floor, making it suitable for passing through a narrow and shallow canal.
The Dogana gondola station is located on the Grand Canal, just minutes away from Saint Mark's Square, facing the world famous Harry's Bar.
