Letters from Verona and Lake Garda
Had the opportunity to stay with a friend from Notre Dame’s dad in Verona. Was an incredible opportunity to learn more about the city from a local who’s lived in Italy his whole life, and in Verona for the majority of it.
From visiting one of his favorite local restaurants that had so most beautiful bistecca alla fioretina, getting freshly sliced prosciutto from his fridge, to hearing more about how Italy shaped who he is today.
What made Verona really stand out to me was its proximity to Lake Garda. Was an unbelievable experience taking a 2 hour ferry throughout the lake to arrive at Malcesine, a small town known for its cliff jumping, although the local government strongly advise against it.
Until next time Italy
