Your money goes a lot further in
Verona than it does in Venice:
numerous
trattorias offer
full meals for around
L25,000/12.91 (especially in the
Veronetta district, on the east
side of the river), while on
almost every street corner
there's a bar where a glass of
house wine will set you back a
mere L1000/0.52. As the Veneto
produces more DOC wine than any
other region in Italy, it's not
surprising that Italy's main
wine fair, Vinitaly, is held in
Verona; it takes place in April
and offers abundant sampling
opportunities. For non-alcoholic
pleasure, sit outside one of the
gelaterie in Piazza dell'
Erbe and indulge in an
incredible concoction of fruit,
cream and ice cream; another
place to make for is
Gelateria
Pampanin , by Ponte
Garibaldi.
