_Plan for seeing the Town_--_Hotels_
The length of a traveller’s sojourn in Verona is generally a short one,
and the outside of his visit is at the most from three to four days. The
time is short for seeing and understanding the town, and the following
plan is sketched out so as to include the principal sights and to lay
before the passer-by as good an idea as can be had in a limited time of
the chief centres of interest in Verona:--
(1) The Church of Sant’ Anastasia, beside which stands the famous
tomb of Guglielmo da Castelbarco (p. 160, etc.); along the Via
Liceo and down the Via Duomo to the Duomo; S. Giovanni in Fonte;
the Vescovado, and by by-ways to the Piazza delle Erbe (which can
never be seen too often) into the Piazza dei Signori, or Piazza
Dante, to the tombs of the Scaligers and the little Church of Sta.
Maria Antica (chapters vii. and viii.).
(2) Through the Piazza delle Erbe, down the Via Cappello and the
Via S. Sebastiano, etc., to the Church of S. Fermo. Then across the
Adige by the Ponte delle Navi to the Museo Civico, or Picture
Gallery (chapter ix.).
(3) By the Corso Cavour (see St Eufemia, Porta dei Borsari, and
Castel Vecchio on the way--chapter xi.) to the Church of S. Zeno
(chapter xii.), and from there to S. Bernardino, driving round
through the Porta Palio and Porta Nuova to the Arena (chapter ii.).
(4) Across the Ponte di Pietra to the chief churches on the other
side of the Adige, S. Giorgio in Braida; S. Stefano, Sta. Maria in
Organo; and, if time allows of it, a visit to the Giardino Giusti
(chapter x.).
A delightful expedition, occupying a good four hours, can be had by tram
or carriage, to Soave, but a little walking is required to go right up
to the Castle of the Scaligers, perched above the old walled-in town
(chapter xiii.).
The best hotel in Verona is the Hôtel de Londres, also known as that of
the Deux Tours. Part of the building is said to have once formed part of
the Palace of the Scaligers, a statement that may well be the case,
given its position and proximity to the house once inhabited by the
lords of Verona. Here too is a good guide, one Illuminato Veronesi, who
speaks English and knows his Verona well.
The Hôtel S. Lorenzo is pleasantly placed near the banks of the Adige.
The Hôtel Colomba d’Oro stands in the Via Colomba, and is not far from
the Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and the Arena.

which ran like a high enclosure round the whole circumference of the

in Art and Archæology_. London, Sampson Low, 1883.
[6] The extravagance in which Samaritana indulged contributed in no
small degree to the decline and fall of her husband’s house. Her taste
for jewellery was of a most ridiculous--not to say vulgar order. She
heaped on jewels in profusion and would not put on her stockings
unless they too were decorated with precious stones! She also excited
the indignation of contemporary chroniclers by her insistance in
sending to Ostiglia for some special unguents which she deemed
necessary for beautifying her hair, and which were conveyed to this
port on the Po at great expense from distant towns.

[9] It may be well to remind the reader that this arch which was taken
down in 1805 stood originally near Castel Vecchio, and was the work of
the famous architect Vitruvius Cerdone, whose name was engraved on the
archway. The inscriptions formerly existing over the niches show that
the statues belonging to them were of the Gavii family. Panvinio is of
opinion that the arch was erected to the memory of that Gavius who was
consul B.C. 145. Maffei on the other hand says that it
was set up to the memory of the whole of the Gavii family.

[16] I am aware that I am destroying a legend that has found its way
into nearly every guide-book and even into some histories of Verona by
this assertion. But no Veronese of any culture or learning supports
the popular tradition, or admits that the deed aroused such horror
in the public mind as to brand the spot with a special name. The
“Volto Barbaro” simply took its name from the Barbaro family who lived
there, as the “Volto Marioni” in another part of the town did from the
Marioni family--a fact that no one versed in Veronese matters would
ever seek to gainsay or dispute.

“Thine earliest refuge and thine earliest inn
Shall be the mighty Lombard’s courtesy,
Who on the ladder bears the holy bird,
Who such benign regard shall have for thee
That ’twixt you twain, in doing and in asking,
That shall be first which is with others last.
With him shalt thou see one who at his birth
Has by this star of strength been so impressed,
That notable shall his achievements be.”

Ch’io veggio certamente, e perŏ il narro,
A darne tempo, gia stelle propinque,
Sicure d’ogni intoppo e d’ogni sbarro;
Nel quale un cinquecento diece e cinque,
Messo di Dio, ancideră la fuja
Conquel gigante che con lei delinque.

[29] I have not gone into the lengthy and vexed question of the date
of Cangrande’s birth. The year generally accepted is 1291, and that I
have followed as the most probable one, and the one most deserving of
acceptance.

[32] This is not the place to enlarge on the fine character and
qualities of Regina della Scala; but it is interesting to note that
one of the most famous theatres in Italy takes its name from her, and
that the “Scala” at Milan was so called in honour of this daughter of
Verona.

[46] In this courtyard much might be done were the Town Council of
Verona only as ready to lay out sums in guarding and preserving
their old treasures as they are in erecting modern houses and
“embellishments” to attract visitors to their city. Some fine arches
dating from the time of the Scaligers remain here blocked up; and some
lovely frescoes which ask only to be protected from sun and rain cry
aloud in this Cortile for an attention which is persistently denied
them.

[48] The tablet runs as follows:--
Queste furono le case
Dei Capuleti
Onde uscì la Giulietta
Per cui
Tanto piansero i cuori gentili
E i poeti cantarono.
These were the houses
Of the Capulets
From whence sprang Juliet
For whom
So many gentle hearts have wept
And poets have sung.

[57] The authorship of this picture is open to doubt. It has been
attributed to different masters in turn. Mr Berenson is of opinion
that it is by Girolamo Mocetto, an opinion also held by Crowe and
Cavalcaselle.

Across the plain; and seemed to be among them
The one who wins, and not the one who loses.”
