The L’Arena amphitheatre in Verona is not in Piazza Bra, it’s next to it. And while I always take a few photos of L’Arena when we’re in Verona, I rarely show Piazza Bra itself. Which is surprising when you consider that there’s a fountain in the middle of the park that’s in the middle of Piazza Bra. I mean, I love taking photos of fountains, right?

I think in general I usually don’t take photos of this fountain because I find that the shape of the fountain makes it more difficult to photograph than some other ones. For one thing, it’s a bit wide, which makes it a challenge to photograph in its entirety without cutting off an edge.  Plus, it’s rarely the case that people aren’t standing or sitting around it in the park. I find that messes with my attempts to get artistic splashing water shots. Hmph. 😉

Anyway, see what you think of the photos that below. I think these will at least give you a good introduction to the fountain and what’s around it. They will also illustrate just how hard it is to get a photo without any people accidentally being part of the view of the water.

BTW, just to orient you, L’Arena is off-screen to the left in the first photo.
