Verona Dërgim Lulesh (Luleshitës)

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was set in this beautiful city and the ancient Roman amphitheater is still in use for concerts and open air festivals. Verona is also home to several flower gardens, along with the largest lake in Italy. Lake Garda is not only a great place for boating and swimming, it is also home to some of the region’s plants and flowers. Oleander and azalea bushes can be found growing wild along the cliffs, and many of the railings and balconies overlooking the lake have potted and hanging baskets of petunias or bougainvillea. Red bottlebrush bushes stand out against the white cliffs, along with roses and a few planted begonias. Geraniums can also be found in Verona during the cooler months, and wild poppies appear in the meadows during the summer. Like the rest of Italy residents of Verona are also fond of roses, and each color has a special meaning when it is given to a friend or loved one. In the city center one can also find pretty gardens, and it is not uncommon for there to be a potted of daisies sitting in front of doorways. One can also find these and other flowers for sale in the open air markets and city plazas.
