In 2026, the city of Verona commemorates the 1500th anniversary of the death of Theodoric the Great, a pivotal figure of the Romano-Barbaric era. The Municipality and the University of Verona have curated a series of events to explore the legacy of this sovereign, who chose the city as his preferred residence, embedding his presence into its historical and legendary fabric.
The program features a sequence of conferences and guided tours through iconic locations. From the archaeological evidence within the Arena to the rare manuscripts in the Biblioteca Capitolare, each event provides insight into the connection between the historical Gothic king and his transformation into the legendary Dietrich von Bern within Germanic traditions.

Spanning from April to November, the initiatives include urban itineraries and scholarly discussions. While conferences are open to the public, the specialized guided tours have limited capacity and require booking via Eventbrite. This series offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the early medieval roots of Verona, interpreting the city through the lens of history, art, and the local traditions that define its cultural character today.
