First step a brisk climb up the Scalone Castello San Pietro. See you at the top! 😅Made it!

While the wall provides an exterior ring around the city the looping river was the last line of defence.

Today I'm going on a pilgrimage. I hope you can join me. The bar above should have been the first stop of the tour but as you can see, it's closed. If you've read my book you may recognize the name. Look closely at the picture.

Last game of a season quite unlike any other. Quite possibly Juric's last game too if the rumours linking him to Torino are to be believed.

Still plenty to play for tonight - particularly for those vying for Champions League football next season!

hellas1903.it/il-visto-da-no… Hellas have started very brightly. Best I've seen them in a while.

Deciding to escape from Verona for the day, our objective was Fontanellato, a small town in north western Italy, approximately 20 kilometres west of Parma. Fontanellato is home to the Santuario Basilica della Beata Vergine del Santo Rosario, a Dominican sanctuary that commemorates a succession of miracles dating back to 1628. Monastic chanting provides a haunting backdrop to our brief tour of the convent.

The Nazi HQ in the heart of Verona.

[a thread]

#VeronaAtWar Patiently waiting to cross the road, I happen to glance upwards and notice a plaque.

Mounted well above head height on a busy street corner, it's easy to miss.

I read the text and, despite the heat, a shiver runs down my spine.

The Nazi plot to destroy Verona and the village priest who foiled it.

[a thread] By April 1945, the Second World War was finally drawing to a close.

In Italy, the Nazis were finally in retreat.
