In Verona not only many rich and precious proof of Roman domination are visible but also the remains of the family della Scala, the powerful Lordship, who ruled for 120 years (from the 1262 until the 1387) a huge region from the the river Pò to the river Adige. Various palaces, castles and embattled walls recall to the visitors that glorious time.
For three centuries Verona had been dominated by Venice, who built the walls, the bastions, the doors above the tracks of the ones of Scala time. After the Napoleonic invasion, the city became part of the Lombardo-Veneto subjected to the Habsburg. All these transitions had left remarkable and visible signs in the city.
