Amphitheatre

The Verona Arena's ring remnant that survived the 1117 earthquake

The building itself was built in AD 30 on a site which was then beyond the city walls. The ludi (shows and games) staged there were so famous that spectators came from many other places, often far away, to witness them. The amphitheatre could host more than 30,000 spectators in ancient times. The round facade of the building was originally composed of white and pink limestone from Valpolicella. Still, after a major earthquake in 1117, which almost destroyed the structure's outer ring, except for the so-called "ala" (wing), the stone was quarried for re-use in other buildings. Nevertheless, it impressed medieval visitors to the city, one of whom considered it a labyrinth, without ingress or egress. Ciriaco d'Ancona was filled with admiration for the way it had been built and Giovanni Antonio Panteo's civic panegyric De laudibus veronae, 1483, remarked that it struck the viewer as a construction that was more than human.

Song for Europe (Music: JULIO FERNÁNDEZ / Lyrics: ANNETTE FREUDLING)

Bleak tearful days

In spring of `22

News hovering like giant birds of prey Reality – a picture out of true Europe,

this song is for you Pace, vrede, Frieden, paz Hush

the noise of firing lines we hear Pace, pokój, myr, mir

Let us pretend

We knew the secret chord

Music powerful enough to make wars end Let us pretend that vocals break the sword Europe, this song is for you Pace, vrede, Frieden, paz* Hush the noise of firing lines we hear Pace, pokój, myr, mir
