Back in 1387, Masuccio Salernitano penned the first known version of the Romeo and Juliet tale, long before Shakespeare; in Verona, stones speak of passion and empire. The 1st‑century Arena rises in a clean ellipse just off Via Mazzini; piazza delle Erbe still hums with trading rituals; Castelvecchio, a Scaliger fortress, watches the Adige as it has since the 1300s. Between Venice and Verona it’s roughly 120 km along the A4, vineyards of Soave rolling by and easy detours to San Martino Buon Albergo or the Castelvecchio bridge.
Morning pickup at your Venice hotel, then your Amani driver keeps a Mercedes at your disposal all day—flexible, unhurried, seamless while you visit and taste. With your private driver in Verona, thread from Casa di Giulietta to piazza dei Signori, break for tortellini di Valeggio, then drift uphill to the Roman Theatre or Castel San Pietro for a river panorama. Opera night at the Arena in summer? Your driver waits and brings you back to Venice after the curtain, no last‑train anxiety.

Your chauffeur’s tip
For the opera, book numbered seats in the Poltronissime sections and bring a small cushion; the golden light before 8:30 pm makes the best photos from Castel San Pietro.
