[edit] Relevancy

How is the flood relevant to the introduction? Doesn't that detract from its purpose? Bit too much information about flooding there. Summarize Verona in the intro.

[edit] What's going on?

I wish to post a question on the Verona (Italy) talk page, but it keeps being redirected to the Talk:Verona (disambiguation) page, which is where i think my comment is being posted.

This is my question: In the demographics section, where did the info come from?


I would appreciate it if someone could sort both out as i am rather busy at the moment, and also do not how to sort the talk page problem out.

There were page moves in the past and the talk page got separated. Copying this there now. olderwiser 18:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holy Roman Empire

There is absolutly no mention of Verona's days in the Holy Roman Empire, just a couple of sentences about Charlemange. I find that odd, and hope someone will correct this error. I would, but frankly I dont wanna touch this article.Cheers--Lucius Sempronius Turpio 10:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin ode

What has become of The "Latin ode of which we shall speak later on"?

[edit] Coat of Arms

I noticed the Italian version of this article has a different, more modern coat of arms pictured. Should this article show that image as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by L.K (talkcontribs) 21:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Muscial Instrument Factories

I'm trying to find more information on musical instrument manufacturers in/previously in Verona, especially desidera. Desidera made woodwind and brass instruments including bugles, saxophones and ????

Verona pre world war 2(possibly later) had a good number of musical instrument manufacturers including Desidera, Rampone, Grassi and Stowasser. Only Rampone continues to make instruments in Verona.

from http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?t=74642 "Leonildo Desidera and sons was a prized factory from Verona during the fascist era which took over the well-known Stowasser You can find some information on Desidera Instruments on italian speaking fora but is all very vague. Probably you can find more information at the saxophone museum at Quarna di sotto- Novara- (the small town where Rampone still is an Grassi was) http://www.quarnasotto.com/museo.htm " Any information on Desidera would be appreciated. alxx (talk) 07:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
