The experience begins at one of the old city gates of Verona, the same one through which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart passed on December 27, 1769, when he entered the city at the age of just thirteen during his first trip to Italy. From here begins a narrative walking tour, designed to slow down the pace and observe Verona with an attentive and conscious gaze.
It's February, the heart of winter, and the city is filled with the energy of the Carnival. The streets come alive, the citizens prepare for the festivities, and trades mark the rhythm of everyday life. The narrative recreates the atmosphere of 18th-century Verona: a vibrant city, made up of masks, sounds, craftsmanship, and constant trade along the Adige River. Churches, streets and urban spaces become stages in a storey that intertwines history, anecdotes and the urban context, giving meaning to the places and the way they were experienced.
The route follows the rhythm of urban life and invites you to notice details that are often invisible to a hurried glance. The figure of the young Mozart becomes a narrative key to traversing the city not as mere visitors, but as observers of his time, able to listen to what remains in the stones, in the gestures, and in the seasons.
There is a stop halfway through the experience that connects urban history with local flavours. The encounter with a baker becomes a central moment of the route: bread and wheat tell the storey of the link between the river, the mills, and craftsmanship, offering an authentic glimpse of the Verona of yesterday and today. The food tasting of baked goods accompanies the storey as a sensory experience, in which food becomes a memory and a narrative of the territory.
The walk continues in the historic old town and ends, leaving participants not only with historical information, but with a deeper and more human perception of Verona: a city made up of music, seasons, work, and real people.
It is an experience designed for families, curious travellers, history and music lovers, and for those seeking an authentic connection with the city and wishing to experience it slowly, with care and respect, going beyond the traditional visit and the most crowded routes.
