About the artwork

Be transported to the heart of Italy with this breathtaking photo of Verona, where time seems to stand still as the sun gently sets behind the historic skyline.

In the warm, golden light, a view rich in history and charm unfolds: the Ponte Pietra, a Roman arch bridge, stretches gracefully across the babbling Adige River (Italy's second-longest river at 410 km), captured with a dreamy long shutter speed.

In the background rise the imposing Duomo di Verona and the elegant Parrocchia di San Giorgio in Braida, icons of Renaissance and Romanesque architecture. The softly coloured facades of centuries-old houses reflect the soul of a city that has inspired artists, poets, and travellers for more than 2,000 years.

Known not only as the city of Romeo and Juliet, but also as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Verona is home to a wealth of attractions.

* Arena of Verona, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world, which hosts the famous opera festival every year.

* Torre dei Lamberti - 84 metres high, with panoramic views over the city.

* Castel San Pietro - a strategic hilltop with breathtaking views.

* Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona - literally built against a cliff.

* Piazza Bra - the bustling heart of Verona.

The combination of river, historic architecture, and sunset exudes tranquillity, nostalgia and elegance. Perfect for lovers of Italy, Lake Garda, and timeless cityscapes. Suitable for living rooms, offices, hotels and holiday homes, bring a piece of Italian romance to any space.
