Before leaving us, Stefano suggested we try the world famous Verona Risotto, (or rice) called Risotto Masi (cheese), it looks like brown rice with cheese on top, but I guarantee my readers, if you taste it your taste buds will go "Ooh Laa Laa".
You must pair this dish with Amarone. If you do, you will be in the foodie heaven zone.
I can't describe the feeling but it is so sublime, the taste, sourish yet oh so tasty.
Risotto with Masi.

After lunch, we waddled, yes it was a struggle after such a magnificent lunch to get up to the Villa San Petro as suggested by Stefano. We were not disappointed to say the least. The view of Verona was stunning! The funicular which brought us up must have been over a hundred years old and to take in the whole city was just something else.
We made it to the top of the hill called Villa san Petro or Villa of St Peter.
We took pictures of the mallard ducks along the way, as well as a couple of selfies across the bridge, such was the beautiful weather. I was totally relaxed and in the zone of perfect happiness.
It is a tremendous privilege to have come on a cool winter's day, experience the love of the Bard as typified in the statues and the balcony. Eaten the best Risotto in my life and viewed the beautiful trading hub of Verona.
