Verona is situated at the intersection between two major motorways and railway lines: the Turin – Milan – Venice – Trieste motorway and railway, which is part of the so-called Fifth European Corridor stretching from Lisbon to Kiev; and running from north to south, the Brenner motorway and railway, which is part of the First European Corridor connecting Scandinavia and Germany with Italy as far as Sicily. This is also the location of the interport, known as “Quadrante Europa”, one of Italy’s most important and busiest logistics centres.
Verona is close to other major Italian and European cities: Milan 160 km, Venice 120 km, Bologna 140 km, Innsbruck 265 km, Munich some 400 km, making it a strategic hub, and placing it at the heart of a thriving and prosperous geographic area. It is therefore the gateway to Italy for northern European countries, in particular, Austria, Germany and other neighbouring countries.
Verona’s strategic position is confirmed at European level by the fact that there are no less than two hundred foreign businesses here, including several major companies, principally German, but also British, Dutch, Swiss, Austrian, etc., which have established their Italian head offices or subsidiaries here (for example, Air Dolomiti, Aldi, Arag, Bayernland, DAS, Fresenius, Heller, Lidl, Man, Müller, Volkswagen, Hangartner, and also Glaxo, etc.).
This means that prime local firms offering legal, economic and financial services in Verona have acquired considerable and specific experience in managing foreign relations, and have therefore achieved the highest standards of professionalism and efficiency.
