In the heart of Lessinia, a few kilometers from Verona, lies one of the most fascinating places in the area: the majestic Ponte di Veja, one of the largest natural rock bridges carved by water in Europe.
An imposing limestone arch shaped over millennia by the force of water, a breathtaking geological masterpiece that gives a sense of authentic wonder to anyone who visits it.
📖 Between Dante and Valpolicella
According to some scholars, this place also influenced Dante Alighieri in his description of the Malebolge of Hell in the Divine Comedy. This is no coincidence: the Alighieri family had important ties to Valpolicella, an area rich in history and literary influence.
🎨 An inspiration in art too
Andrea Mantegna's famous Bridal Chamber also features a natural bridge that closely resembles this extraordinary rock formation. This detail confirms how the nature of Lessinia has inspired art and beauty over the centuries.
🎬 A location with contemporary charm
The Veja Bridge continues to fascinate even today: it was chosen as the location for one of Emma and Giorgia's music videos, won over by its powerful and scenic atmosphere.
