Veroneses

Veroneses is a demonym used for the inhabitants of Verona, a city in the Veneto region of northern Italy. In Italian, residents are called Veronesi, and Veronese is the usual adjectival form; Veroneses appears in some languages, notably Spanish, to designate people from Verona. The term also ties to Veronese culture and to the Veronese dialect spoken in Verona and surrounding areas.

Verona lies on the Adige River and serves as a historic and commercial center. The Veronesi have contributed to the city’s heritage, including its well-preserved Roman and medieval monuments, the Roman amphitheatre known as the Arena, and the medieval heart around Piazza delle Erbe and Juliet’s House, a popular tourist site linked to the story of Romeo and Juliet.

The Veronese dialect is part of the Venetian language group within the broader Veneto linguistic landscape, with distinctive vocabulary and pronunciation.

Verona is also associated with wine and cuisine rooted in the surrounding Valpolicella and the popular pandoro cake, which has ties to the Verona area.
