Frescoes on Via Rosa, Verona
Via Rosa, Centro Storico, Verona, Verona, Italy
Why We Selected It
Most apartments in a historic centre borrow their atmosphere from the street outside. This one has its own. The salone is the whole point of the home — wide, tall, with a brick fireplace at one end, original plank floors, and stretches of exposed stone and fresco left visible where the later plaster was taken back. The building is a small palazzina of only a few units on Via Rosa, quiet and private, a few minutes on foot from Piazza delle Erbe and the Arena. The last renovation dealt with the unglamorous work: the services were renewed and the floor structures consolidated, so the historic fabric is carried on something sound.

Our Perspective
Why it works
One hundred and thirty-three square metres with a genuine representative salone, in the historic centre, at €610,000 — with the structural and mechanical work already done.
Ownership case
Verona's centro storico is protected and cannot grow. Apartments carrying original decorative fabric inside a small, private palazzina are the narrowest part of that stock.
What makes it special
The salone: the fireplace, the exposed sixteenth-century masonry and frescoes, and the light coming through arched windows across old plank floors.
Best suited for
Someone who wants a historic city apartment with real character and is comfortable finishing the surfaces and furnishing it to their own taste.
