"We are achingly poetic. We are clumsily self-conscious. We are hilariously funny. We are ambiguously sincere. We are profane. We are contrary. We never get over a grudge. We confront misunderstanding. Our war songs are happy. Our love songs are sad. We laugh at despair. And we are brilliant at talking complete nonsense about ourselves. But we are also open to change..."

- Italian Guest City: Urbino joins the streets with its agropastoral living heritage, from the historic stilts of Schieti (*Gioco dei Trampoli*) to artisan kites and regional tastings.

- Masterclasses and live sessions featuring Ireland's UNESCO-inscribed Uilleann Pipes and the Celtic harp (Clàirseach), resonating across courtyards and civic museum cloisters.

Il 17 settembre 1882, il fiume Adige scatenò una catastrofe che cambiò Verona per sempre. 🌊

Oltre due terzi della città furono sommersi da un muro di fango alto e veloce 20 km/h.
Interi quartieri come la Binastrova furono spazzati via, monumenti storici come Palazzo Fiorio della Seta furono demoliti e i residenti dovettero tenere le candele accese tutta la notte nel buio.

Eppure, da questo disastro nacque una forza incredibile. Verona ricostruì i suoi argini in soli 35 giorni e progettò i massicci muri di pietra (i muraglioni) che proteggono la città ancora oggi.

Se cammini per Verona oggi, tieni gli occhi aperti: i segni delle piene e le targhe commemorative sono ancora sparsi per la città, sussurrando storie di quel giorno fatidico. 🏛️✨

Nascosta in una corte ricoperta d'edera nel cuore di Verona, è il luogo dove l'eccellenza artigianale italiana incontra il calore più autentico.

Fondata nel 1957 come tradizione di famiglia nelle grandi superfici e pavimenti su misura, la boutique del centro storico è diventata un punto d'incontro per amanti dell'arte e viaggiatori da ogni angolo del mondo. Dai mosaici in foglia d'oro 24k Bisazza alle fenici modellate a mano da in partenza per Dubai e New York, fino alle vivaci pigne smaltate e alle formelle dedicate a Romeo e Giulietta: ogni singolo pezzo custodisce una storia.

Come ama ricordare : «I pezzi arrivano qui, prendono un po’ d’amore da questa città... e poi ripartono per portare bellezza nelle case di tutto il mondo.»
