A few days ago we visited (for at least the third time) the Archeological Museum at the Roman Theatre. The collection of statues, carved stones, heads, mosaics, is certainly beautiful, but the main characteristic of this site, for me, is the unique setting of the Museum, hosted in the XIV century Monastery of St. Jerome. The structure is perched on the side of the hill overlooking the Roman Theatre and Ponte Pietra.
There are little rooms overlooking the river, the refectory with imposing statues, the cloister with carved stones scattered everywhere, the belvedere with more stones, columns and arches. It's a real dive into history!

Amazing amazing, I adore Italy and this photo is amazing. We have roman baths in Bath but nothing like this!
Had to come back in to say looking at your photos on your blog has made me want to get on a plane back to Italy as soon as possible! I adore Verona, more recently we honeymooned in Florence and plan to live in Italy one day, fingers crossed! Really love your photos!
Beautiful photo, Valeria!
I am definitely putting this on my list of places to visit when I come to Verona. I don't know when that will be but I plan to visit Italy again some day.
Beautiful view! Great shot!
Wow, What a scene. It looks absolutely fantastic. This is why I love Italy!
Aaaaa, this is Verona?? Beautiful, Perfect!
Nice shot. I like the perspective and colors. Do you do much post-processing of your images, or is that just the "Leica" color? I'm thinking of purchasing a d-lux4 too and am interested.
WOW! That is one of the best photos I have seen on your blog.
Awesome job!!
