Verona: A Piece of Heaven on Earth, Italy

The metropolis at the end of the most important Alpine crossing to Italy looks back on more than 2,000 years of history.

The Romans brought their three most important trade routes together in Verona. One of the most powerful city republics in Italy emerged here in the Middle Ages. However, Verona first became world-famous through William Shakespeare's tragedy ""Romeo and Juliet"". The film also shows life in the city in the past and today.

UNESCO has been protecting the world's most valuable natural and cultural monuments as the ""Heritage of Humanity"" since 1972. The television series “Treasures of the World” tells of these places in impressive images.
