A city of the western Venetian region, capital of the province with the same name, Verona is situated on the two banks of the Adige between the plain and foothills of the Lessini Mountains.
A highway and railway nexus of primary importance for communications between Austria and Germany, it is an active commercial center for the agricultural production of the region.
Many industries have their headquarters here: paper, metal-mechanics, cardboard, graphics and publishing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, tanning, shoe manufacturing, wood and clothing. The oldest part of the city is nestled within the wide curves of the Adige. More recent urban development has taken place around the historical center, which in many places still shows evidence of its Roman origins.
