A View of the Outer Ring Wall of the Arena in Verona (photo by author). That a portion of the outer wall survives today is due in part to Napoleon Bonaparte. During the Empire, Napoleon contrubuted 30,000 francs for the restoration of the amphitheater. A comemorative plaque acknowledges the emperor's generosity.
