Weddings in Verona.  Verona originated in the prehistoric age, probably on the present site of the Ponte Pietra where the river Adige could be forded along the salt and amber route from the Adriatic to Germany. Possibly founded by the Venetian, it was of great importance in the Roman Age and became a Roman town in 49 B.C. In 312 A.D. Pompeianus, General of Maxentius was defeated and killed near Verona by Constantine. It became Christian in the 4th century, till it became the beloved city of Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoth kingdom in the middle of the 5th century, then a Longobardic dukedom and the seat of Pipin, King of Italy under the Carolingian Empire. In the 11th century Verona was joined to the Mark of Bavaria and in 1136 it became a municipality. Having come under the power of Ezzelino da Romano, it came under the dominion of the Scaliger family, whose seigniory lasted from 1277 until 1387, when it fell into the hands of the Viscontis.

In 1405 Verona voluntarily offered itself to the Venetians, under whose government it remained until 1796, when the Republic of Venice was invaded by Napoleon. After the short-lived rule of the Kingdom of Italy Verona was occupied by the Austrians in 1814 and returned to the dominion of Italy in 1866.

Verona is worldwide famous to be the home of Romeo and Juliet drama and today it is possible to visit Juliet's house and also to get married in her romantic home.
