Jimbo forgot to connect the microphone in a couple of interviews so we used the camera's mic, that's why the audio was not good in their clips 🥲

Hi! Thank you so much for being here.
I would just like you to, you know,
just ask you why are you here, what did you find
interesting about Verona?
Okay.
I also thank you for this...
interview!
We are actually from Czech Republic
and we came to Italy
to explore this region: Treviso, Venice...
And now we are in Verona.
I’m here because we want to see
all the beautiful things here in Verona,
especially the Arena, the Juliet’s balcony,
and some other monuments that are here in the city.
That's why we came here
and we enjoy all of them.
It's very great!
Verona is our last stop!
We have been in Venice, it was fantastic.
Such a beautiful city, great experience.
We have been just yesterday around
Treviso and the monuments of Treviso...
During the tour of prosecco
so we had an opportunity to degustate a lot of prosecco,
a lot of wine.
So today is more relaxing.
Walking in Verona, exploring this beautiful city,
the beautiful Arena...
This is our second time here in Verona.
OH IT’S YOUR SECOND TIME! (Jimbo excited)
Yes, second time.
What's your favorite monument?
My favorite moument is the...
Arena! Right!
Arena.
The Roman Arena, definitely.
I'm a student of history, so...
And also a teacher.
So I really enjoyed the historic monuments,
and I like antiquity.
I like the Roman Empire.
And to visit this arena was really great.
This time we are with my parents,
they are from Brazil!
We came once, we liked it very much.
And now the second time!
we decided to return so they can also see the city
and all this place that we like pretty much.
Question: A nice memory you have of Verona
Surely this city
I would say has its own soul,
also related to its history.
Very important city of the
Northern Italy since the
Roman era and medieval with the Scaligeris
Up to the present day, and so on.
Let's say that a good memory...
The first time when
you look at the coliseum,seh the coliseum,
I meant the Arena! The Colosseum immediately came to mind,
there is the immediate association,
But I would say the first time you look at the Arena,
perhaps accompanied with one's parents or
St. Lucia's stalls.
Let's say the first time you come here.
with the family, when you are little
is the first thing that comes to mind.
Let's assume that I was not born here
I was not born in Verona, I come from abroad.
So getting to live in Verona...
Then for me it was a moment to get used to Italian cities
However, if I have to be honest, indeed, living abroad
and being in contact so many years with foreigners,
I've gotten much more used to being comfortable with people who don't speak Italian.
Although it sounds a little bad to say.
One thing I like about this city and that it is a very touristy city anyway
I grew up here; this city has a very great meaning for me.
I am here with my friends, because I met them in Como for an internship.
I came back here to show them the city, it's their first time here!
Certainly a cherished memory of Verona are the field trips, the first trips I took in elementary school with classmates
that always lead you to see Verona in every sauce, in every corner, everywhere.
And still those childhood memories I still carry in my heart.
Verona is clearly a city very important for its facilities.
Then it is wonderful to walk around, looking at buildings and the bridges,
The Arena or whatever, Verona is all beautiful!
So they come precisely many tourists from many parts of the world
and generally the tourists who come here to Verona
are always very happy with this city.
They are always very open, very happy.
So I think a good memory that I have of this city
Are the people both who inhabit it, and those who visit it
and I rarely heard people maybe talk badly about
Of the climate however that one breathes in this city.
Then for those who maybe are a little bit passionate about
also about architecture and things like that...
Verona is full of beautiful places to see.
I recommend to everyone if you haven't gone there,
Visit the Maffeian Museum! Very, very beautiful.
Verona is very underrated in my opinion, it is very small
the Arena is somewhat forgotten by tourists because of the Colosseum
It is a city that I recommend
because it can be easily visited And it has its own charm.
also possibly related to the two of us,
one of the first trips we made to Castel San Pietro, at the top you take the zip line.
There's also the walk path, 10 minutes of steps to climb... (Jimbo: You get the muscles!)
It is good for the legs!
It’s my first time here! I’m with my friend
She’s from here and she’s showing all around, I’m really excited!
Especially on the way back, she had sore feet with the heels,
I carried her on my shoulders, it was a bit tiring
Then I came downstairs fatigued and she said: "You didn't even walk 10 minutes!"
