The Associazione Chiese Vive proposes an itinerary to discover Verona. It’s a route that meanders through the historical centre of the city to experience over a thousand years of history, art and religious faith. The historical churches of Verona offer a panorama which is truly rare in Italy, due to its artistic continuity and to the purity of its peaks of expression.

Starting with the Basilica di San Zeno, a prototype of Romanesque style, known all over the world, with exceptional bronze entrance doors and a splendid triptych by Andrea Mantegna, one continues, in the heart of town, to discover the Basilica di Santa Anastasia, a jewel box of Gothic art, including frescoes by Pisanello and Altichiero, and reaching, nearby, the Cathedral Complex: an articulated labyrinth of sacred monuments, including the baptistery, the church of Saint Elena (with early-Christian vestiges), and the sumptuous Cathedral (Duomo), which boasts an altarpiece by Tiziano.

And finally, on the shore of the Adige River, it is very worthwhile to have an in-depth visit of the two churches (one on top of the other) of San Fermo, with fourteenth-century frescoes in the grand Gothic basilica of the Franciscan Friars, to then carry on the unique atmosphere of the lower church, in Romanesque style.
