History
According to folk lore, Verona began as a trade city centered around maritime trade routes. This led the city to become incredibly prosperous and, in turn, advanced development of arts and culture. The area of Verona is believed to be upwards of 8,000 hectares including the surrounding farmland. Some time during Verona's peak happened 'The Great Earthquake' often described in historical documentation. Scholars today speculate the earthquake was likely in the range of 8-9 on the Richter scale. This devastated Verona leaving the large city in shambles. It is estimated that as much as 5,000 lives were lost as a result directly of the earthquake and of the famine that ensued. Verona became abandoned in the following months.
