Be transported to the heart of Italy with this breathtaking photo of Verona, where time seems to stand still as the sun gently sets behind the historic skyline.
In the warm, golden light, a view rich in history and charm unfolds: the Ponte Pietra, a Roman arch bridge, stretches gracefully across the babbling Adige River (Italy's second-longest river at 410 km), captured with a dreamy long shutter speed.
In the background rise the imposing Duomo di Verona and the elegant Parrocchia di San Giorgio in Braida, icons of Renaissance and Romanesque architecture. The softly coloured facades of centuries-old houses reflect the soul of a city that has inspired artists, poets, and travellers for more than 2,000 years.
Known not only as the city of Romeo and Juliet, but also as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Verona is home to a wealth of attractions.
