Verona - a City of Magic

Pictured is a street vendor offering beautiful masks. Verona was founded in 697 AD and self ruled until 1797 when it was conquered by Napoleon. When Napoleon married Maria from Austrian nobility, Verona became part of the Austrian-Hungary Empire from 1810-1861 hence explaining strong Austrian influence.

  1. Loving your detailed descriptions Ann! Also, I'm wondering if the volcanic ash from Iceland is going to affect your flights home? So much to talk about when you all return, savor the last leg of your journey!
