Verona (Italian pronunciation: [veˈroːna] ( listen); Venetian Verona (pron. Veròna); German Bern, Dietrichsbern or Welschbern) is a city in the Veneto, northern Italy, with approx. 265,000 inhabitants and one of the seven chef-lieus of the region. It is the second largest city municipality in the region and the third of northeast Italy. The metropolitan area of Verona covers an area of 1,426 km2 (550.58 sq mi) and has a population of 714,274 inhabitants. It is one of the main tourist destinations in northern Italy, owing to its artistic heritage, several annual fairs, shows, and operas, such as the lyrical season in the Arena, the ancient amphitheatre built by the Romans.
The city has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.
The precise details of Verona's early history remain a mystery. The origin of the name Verona is also unknown. One theory is it was a city of the Euganei, who were obliged to give it up to the Cenomani (550 BC). With the conquest of the Vaecame Roman (about 300 BC) Verona became a Roman colonia in 89 BC, and then a municipium in 49 BC; Verona had the franchise in 59.

The One Name They All Fear
Adventure lives forever.
Frankenstein's Monster: Let me go!::Carl: Where are you going to go? I don't know if you've looked in the mirror lately, but you kind of stick out in a crowd.
Count Vladislaus Dracula: Igor... Do unto others...::Igor: Before they do it unto me!
Top Hat: I see the Wolfman hasn't killed you yet.::Van Helsing: Don't worry. He's getting to it.
Carl: Why does it smell like wet dog in here?::Van Helsing: [running past him] Werewolf!::Carl: Oh! You'll be needing silver bullets then.::[he produces a box of bullets and throws them to Van Helsing, rather deftly]::Van Helsing: Well done!
Anna Valerious: He's the first one to kill a vampire in over a hundred years. I'd say that's earned him a drink.
Aleera: Anna, my love. It is your blood that shall keep me beautiful. What do you think of that?::[laughs triumphantly, then screams as Anna catches a silver stake and impales her through the chest]::Anna Valerious: I think if you're going to kill somebody, kill them! Don't stand around talking about it!
Carl: Here, take this.::[he hands Van Helsing a bag, then begins to fill it]::Carl: Rings of garlic... holy water... silver stake... crucifix...::[they pass two monks test-firing a Gatling gun]::Van Helsing: Why can't I have one of those?
Van Helsing: Now, Carl, whatever you do, don't stare at him.::[he opens the coach door, revealing the Frankenstein Monster shackled into the seat, struggling and snarling]::Carl: I'm staring at him.::[quickly turns away]::Carl: Is that a man?::Van Helsing: Actually, it's seven men. Parts of them, anyway.
Anna Valerious: For me this is all personal. It's all about family and honor. Why do you do it? What do you hope to get out of it?::Van Helsing: Oh, I don't know. Maybe some self-realization.::Anna Valerious: And what have you got out of it so far?::Van Helsing: Nightmares.
[after Van Helsing's first, failed attempt to kill Dracula]::Anna Valerious: A silver stake? A crucifix? What, did you think we haven't tried everything before? We've shot him, stabbed him, clubbed him, sprayed him with holy water, staked him through the heart, and STILL he lives! Do you understand? No-one knows how to kill Dracula!::Van Helsing: Well, I could have used that information a little earlier.
Apocalypse meow!!!
Naomi: I pop pills like I pop culture.
It gets inside you like the sun,
It makes you wet just like the rain
It makes you sound so sentimental,
It's a lovely kind of pain.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about Verona.
I used to dream, dream,
I used to dream about Verona.
And if there ever was an earthquake,
I'd go down in the earth with you.
And if there ever was an avalanche,
I'd landslide down with you.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about Verona.
I used to dream.
I used to lean over the side of the boat
And get hypnotized by the water and dream.
It's up in the trees it's up to me.
It's out of the blue, out to you.
I used to dream,
I used to dream about Verona.
Yeah Romeo you are priceless, lifeless,
Skipping star to scar to star.
I used to dream you'd be slipping, slipping from me.
Burning, breathing, breathing, sleeping, in me.
I used to lean over the side of the boat
And get hypnotized by the water and dream.
Slipping, slipping, slipping,
Slipping from me.
Burning, burning, breathing,
Verona oooh
Verona ooh
From the first time that I saw you
Verona, I knew
That tomorrow would be different
With a lady like you
Verona ooh
Verona ooh
From the first time that I saw you
Verona, I knew
That tomorrow would be different
When I saw you in Verona
You sat down and moved over
Pretty people but all I saw was you
And yes it's you i'm rating
Forget the boy your dating
in my opinion he isn't right for you.
Pre Chorus:
And if everything goes as planned
I'd be proud to be your man.
I promise to treat you well
Heads over heels in love I fell
CHORUS :
She likes listening to punk rock
Melancholic in the black frock
And she smiles when she sees me
intoxicated by her company
Splendid lady, lazy Sunday afternoon
Good fortune at the bar
Verona, Verona
When I saw you in Verona
You sat down I moved over
Pretty people but all I saw was you
And I remember feeling tongue tied
As I tried to say goodbye
I was ready to fall in love with you
Now that everything's gone to plan
I am proud to be your man, your beauty lights up my world
This is how I met my girl
CHORUS
Verona Verona x4
CHORUS
Verona Verona x 8
You call me all the right words
But the right words sound so wrong
You say that I'm changing
I guess I will before too long
Will you give me a way out or a past to live down?
Even when it couldn't be worse, it is now
I watch while the wild doorway circles round and round
And every single whisper, no life that we should know by now
Is it just a sound
Something keeps a river from sinking to the ground
Was I ever any different?
It's the simplest of words
The simplest of words
White lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
As long as it rhymes
It's all that I'll ever need out here
White lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
We keep what we hide
You told such simple lies
Now that we are free, Verona, won't you keep me out?
Drive me to the city where every building shouts
I wanna hear some people
I wanna keep the windows down
I never would believe you
You should know why by now, whoa
And it's the simplest things we want, whoa
But we can never see no, whoa
And it's the simplest things we want, whoa
And it's the simplest of words, the simplest of words
White lies in the night
If I could be yours and you could be mine
As long as it rhymes
It's all that I'll ever need out here
White lies in the night if I could be yours and you could be mine
We keep what we hide
