A City Shaped By its Environment

Introduction:

Think about where you live for a moment. What is your environment like? Do you have mountains, desert, snow, lakes or lots of open land? How does your environment shape your day? How you get to school, what you eat or what activities you do, and how are those things influenced by your physical environment? Now imagine a place on the other side of the world where the environment shapes life in a totally different way. Here in Verona, people walk along a river that winds through the city, live among ancient Roman buildings and ride buses and bikes to get around. By exploring Verona’s environment, you can start to see how every community, including yours, is connected to the world around it.

What makes this environment special or different?:

Verona, Italy, is a beautiful city full of history, life and nature! What makes it special is how it seamlessly blends the old and the new. Many buildings look old and historic on the outside, but when you step inside, you find bright shops, cozy cafés or fancy restaurants. It’s like a hidden treasure behind every old door! The city is surrounded by green hills and vineyards, which make it look like a painting. You can also spot lots of animals here, including birds in the piazzas, ducks floating on the river and even lizards sunbathing on warm stone walls!
