Flavius Smirks at Tourist-clogged Modern Verona

Flavius, the ruler of Gallia Cisalpina, now known as Verona, promised the greatest of Roman Amphitheatres and a perpetual endowment for Gallia Cisalpina. Little did he know that this square on which the amphitheatre was built would become the Piazza Bra, one of the most famous of its kind in the world and a destination for tourists, opera buffs, Shakespeareans, lovers and coffee drinkers.
