from June 19th to August 30th   2009

Delightful and also unpredictable: this is what to expect from the Arena.

In the stalls and in the box of honour, people of authority and celebrities parade in evening wear, to the delight of the curious onlookers who have already been waiting for some time on the steps. For these spectators going to the Arena means long queues in front of the gates and arriving equipped with everything needed for an excursion: rucksacks, raincoats, food and, last but not least, the libretto and 'mocoleto' (the candle to create a beautiful atmosphere once night has fallen). They are also ready to challenge the bad weather, just as long as they can attend the performance. This is also part of the game, but each evening the public enters into the Arena anxious and curious but trusting. One leaves entranced, fascinated and enthusiastic: a truly unforgettable evening.

HOTEL BYBLOS VILLA AMISTA’  and SPA    5*
Situated in the heart of Valpolicella and only 7 km from the city center of Verona, the Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà offers a unique and fascinating atmosphere of the classical Venetian style Villa.
The large villa, featuring a 15th-century façade by Michele Sanmicheli, had been abandoned for quite some time before receiving its minute renovation.
The villa has now been the object of meticulous historical refurbishment regarding its architecture as well as its paintings and décor. Restoration was completed on the central and most monumental part of the villa, and also on its two towers, its church and its farmhouses. The gardens offer a variety of seductive landscape perspectives that include fountains, a swimming pool and a health spa (Istituto Dominique and Henri Chenot).
Inside, there is a large room dominated by a Venetian chandelier and others that feature elaborate ceiling work and murals. There are also three conference rooms, three dining areas for the enjoyment of gastronomical cuisine (one of which is outdoors) and a large cellar for wine-tasting.
