Palazzo Barbieri, details.

Times mix

Mix of styles and ages here. From the left: the medieval walls, the Gran Guardia (built between 1818 and 1853, in the last decades of the the austrian domination) and the back of Palazzo Barbieri, built after the second W.W.

Shutters and balconies

Carlo Scarpa's BPV Building

I often see groups of university students gathered in front of this facade, with their professor pointing out details, or photographers lingering near and studying angles.

This is part the BPV building (Banca Popolare Verona, one of the leading italian bank groups) an outstanding work of Carlo Scarpa's.

Scarpa was one of the finest italian architects of '900 and Verona treasures another one of

his famous works, the Museo di Castelvecchio.
