Abstract

Catullus in Verona
Lewisohn, Ludwig | June 9, 1926 issue

add to cart   close window

The Verona city remembers her medieval period; it remembers the Scaligeri whose richly fretted tombs still show their intricate perfection off the Piazza del Signori; it remembers that Can Grande who built the old castle by the river and many other strong keeps as far to the north as Malcesine on the Alpine shore of the Lago di Garda, who, above all, offered a first refuge to the great Florentine poet driven into exile. Remoter from him still is the lovely Piazza dei Signori with the Venetian columns and arcades of its places--the Palazzo della Ragione and the Palazzo del Consiglio--one of the loveliest squares in all Italy.
