Sightseeing  :  Italy  :  Veneto And Venice  :  Verona  :  Literary, Art & Music Tours

This is a guided tour in the city of Verona, with stops at the Church and the Wedding Chapel where Maria Callas got married in 1949 to enterpreneur Giovanni Battista Meneghini. At the end of the tour, you will enjoy a great moment of classical live music with "I Musici di San Fermo Minore." This tour includes brand new tourist attractions, but does not include transportation to and from the central meeting place in Verona. In 1949, the most famous soprano in the world got married to Giovanni Battista Meneghini, a marble entrepreneur from Verona. He was 27 years older than her. The wedding was undertone because of the opposition of Meneghini's family to Maria Callas, and the couple got married in the presence of only the priest and two witnesses.

The tour includes a guided visit to the wedding chapel, the exhibition of the register of signatures and a visit to the church of Padri Filippini, which includes the chapel, and a Classical music concert with classical ensemble and soprano.
