Scaliger Verona, 1340
Verona in 1340 is a compact, fortified river city at the height of Scaliger rule, its walls and bridges recently strengthened and its courts alive with patronage and rivalry. The walk passes markets, crenellated palaces and tomb-shrines, the busy Adige quays, and the lanes and houses long linked to the Montecchi and Cappelletti memory later taken up by poets.
37 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 15 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Verona as it stood in 1340 (“Scaliger”).
