Field notes

Northern Italian Veneto city — UNESCO-listed and famously the setting of Romeo and Juliet. The Roman Arena (still hosting opera every summer), Piazza Bra, and the medieval Piazza delle Erbe anchor the dense walkable historic core. Same Italian DNV (1-year renewable, ~€28k/yr income). The structural draws are the Verona Opera Festival (June–September), proximity to Lake Garda (40 min west — Italy's largest lake), and meaningfully sub-Milan rents while still being a 1-hour Frecciarossa to Milan.

Continental humid (Po valley) — virtually identical climate to Bologna (200km south). Winter (December–February, 3–5°C average) brings frequent fog and occasional snow. Summer (June–August, 22–25°C average, peaks above 35°C) is hot humid. Spring and autumn are the cleanest shoulder windows. The valley fog is structural — air quality drops noticeably during winter inversions.
