Legend has it that whoever touches her breast finds happiness in love. It's not for nothing that you have to wait 15 minutes to touch her breast...

To do
Performance of the opera Aida in the Arena of Verona
- Opera di Verona - absolute must do! On a balmy summer evening outdoors, on the marble benches of the Roman amphitheatre, the Arena di Verona, enjoy the most beautiful operas! Every year in the months of June, July and August, Verona is dominated by Opera. Tickets from € 18.00 (sitting on the marble) to about € 200.00 (sitting on a chair with cushion). Don't forget to bring something like a pillow (they can also be rented, the proceeds go to a good cause); sitting on a marble bench for three hours can become painful. See the Arena website[1] for the program and ticket sales.
