Uses For Vegetable Peeler Outside Kitchen

A Juliet's house!

After a Midsummer "spring" we left the beautiful country! so I was in Verona, Treviso and Venice!
Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, is a real gem. As if by magic to become involved in a modern world and who knows how to perfect at times of old! Accepted in his arms, the entrance to the old town is crowned by two monumental gates that protected the city during the Roman Empire. Now before your eyes see the arena.
The little sister of the Colosseum dominates the square with all its beauty. The amphitheater of Verona was built in the first half of the first century. AD, between the end of the Empire of Augustus and the empire of Claudius. Third largest amphitheater in Italy after the Colosseum amphitheater of Capua, has an elliptical shape, to allow perfect acoustics in every respect and accommodate a large number of spectators. The shows were held in the center of the monument and could hold as many as 30,000 people. Today the Arena is located within the walls, but at one time, just as the stage today, is located just outside the city walls, for safety reasons and to facilitate the access of people from the country and also from the surrounding areas , preventing entry into the city. In 265 AD, the threat of hordes of barbarians, led the Emperor Galen have to defend the city of Verona and the Arena it was incorporated into the walled city.
Continuing to stroll through the downtown streets, shops and masked actors, leave the Roman world to get to one of William Shakespeare. The author with his pen made immortal so the city with the famous love story of Romeo and Juliet.
Capulet House, better known as Juliet's house, dating from the thirteenth century. It 's a tower house, long owned by the Dal Cappello family, whose coat of arms is carved on the arch intention of the court. The brick facade is decorated with elegant trefoil windows, among them the famous balcony from which Juliet would be looking out to talk to Romeo.
Tourists abound .... you almost queuing up to enter the courtyard and take a picture with the statue of his beloved Juliet and some people, regardless of their portfolio, even spent € 6 to overlook the fateful balcony! After a nice plate of fusilli with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella we continued our journey to Treviso!
