9th of April, 30°C

Abnormal warm temperature in Verona at the beginning of april. The evening of the 9th was remarkably hot and the atmosphere in the city centre was unforgettable. Lots of people hangin out of bars and restaurants, crowded wine bars (Vinitaly fair was on so thousands of people came over from all over the world). I couldn't resist the Fiat 500 Giardinetta parked on the cobblestones...

A romantic walk along the river

A quiet and romantic walk along river Adige, right behind the Church of Santa Anastasia.

Outdoor aperitives

Friday, late afternoon. Before incessant rain caused flooding in the eastern area of the province.

Sultry evening

It's been quite hot lately but yesterday and today it got really really sultry, almost suffocating. I took a walk with my daughter in the evening but the usual freshness that comes with the dark hour, failed to arrive. This is Piazza Erbe, cafés packed with people. This one, in particular has those special nebulizers that give a little relief...

The stalls of Piazza Erbe

Late evening. Stalls are especially designed to be safely closed for the night and towed out of the square on saturday evenings. A close glance on the polished surface of a kiosk, reflecting the Torre de' Lamberti.

Foggy and cold

Out in Piazza Bra at 9 pm last night. Foggy and freezing cold, it was such a relief to enter in the restaurant and feel the warmth and cosyness of the place...

Christmas trick!

Can you see that stick between the base and the top of the tree? It's the arm of the guy that was trying to catch and secure the top to the base...

Appealing book stall

I don't know how the old man is called and how long he's been there. I know that I've always seen him standing there with another guy, apparently his son, selling discounted books, just off busy Via Mazzini and a few steps away from Piazza Erbe.

I never stopped but this photo makes the stall so inviting: I will soon go to browse among those piles!
