Verona City Council is a local authority, in the North East of Italy, with responsibilities and powers for: culture (enhancement of cultural heritage); territory management (environment, city planning, planning and achievement of public works, mobility management); economy; welfare (strategical development of collaboration with local associations); development of relationships with network of cities; politics for young people.
Verona, the second largest city in the Veneto, with a population of 256100 inhabitants is world famous for the ill-fated love affair of Romeo and Juliet. The historic city of Verona was founded in the 1st century B.C. It particularly flourished under the rule of the Scaliger family in the 13th and 14th centuries and as part of the Republic of Venice from the 15th to 18th centuries. Verona has preserved a remarkable number of monuments from antiquity, the medieval and Renaissance periods, and represents an outstanding example of a military stronghold. Verona is a great example of continuous urban and architectural evolution. UNESCO recognized its historical and artistic value, declaring it as a World Heritage Site in 2000.
As far as economy is concerned, Verona is particularly an active agricultural centre, where horticultural products are distributed to Central Europe. Industry is developed in the engineering paper, chemical and food sectors. Tourism is also a very important element.
