<P> As in Austrian times, Verona became of great strategic importance to the regime . Galeazzo Ciano, Benito Mussolini's son - in - law, was accused of plotting against the republic; in a show trial staged by the Nazi and fascist hierarchy at Castelvecchio (the Verona trial), Ciano was executed on the banks of the Adige with many other officers on what is today Via Colombo . This marked another turning point in the escalation of violence that would only end with the final liberation by allied troops and partisans in 1945 . </P> <P> After World War II, as Italy entered into NATO, Verona once again acquired its strategic importance, due to its closeness to the Iron Curtain . The city became the seat of SETAF (South European Allied Terrestrial Forces) and had during the whole duration of the Cold War period a strong military presence, especially American, which is decreasing only in these recent years . Now Verona is an important and dynamic city, very active in terms of economy, and also a very important tourist attraction thanks to its history, where the Roman past lives side by side with the Middle Age Verona, which in some senses brings about its architectural and artistic motifs . </P> <P> Verona has a humid subtropical climate characteristic of Northern Italy's inland plains, with hot summers and cold, humid winters, even though Lake Garda has a partial influence on the city . The relative humidity is high throughout the year, especially in winter when it causes fog, mainly from dusk until late morning, although the phenomenon has become increasingly less frequent in recent years . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="14"> hide Climate data for Verona (1971--2000, extremes 1946--present) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Month </Th> <Th> Jan </Th> <Th> Feb </Th> <Th> Mar </Th> <Th> Apr </Th> <Th> May </Th> <Th> Jun </Th> <Th> Jul </Th> <Th> Aug </Th> <Th> Sep </Th> <Th> Oct </Th> <Th> Nov </Th> <Th> Dec </Th> <Th> Year </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Record high ° C (° F) </Th> <Td> 19.8 (67.6) </Td> <Td> 22.1 (71.8) </Td> <Td> 27.2 (81) </Td> <Td> 31.8 (89.2) </Td> <Td> 36.6 (97.9) </Td> <Td> 36.4 (97.5) </Td> <Td> 38.2 (100.8) </Td> <Td> 39.0 (102.2) </Td> <Td> 33.2 (91.8) </Td> <Td> 29.2 (84.6) </Td> <Td> 23.6 (74.5) </Td> <Td> 18.8 (65.8) </Td> <Td> 39.0 (102.2) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Average high ° C (° F) </Th> <Td> 6.1 (43) </Td> <Td> 8.9 (48) </Td> <Td> 13.4 (56.1) </Td> <Td> 17.2 (63) </Td> <Td> 22.7 (72.9) </Td> <Td> 26.3 (79.3) </Td> <Td> 29.2 (84.6) </Td> <Td> 28.8 (83.8) </Td> <Td> 24.4 (75.9) </Td> <Td> 18.0 (64.4) </Td> <Td> 11.0 (51.8) </Td> <Td> 6.7 (44.1) </Td> <Td> 17.7 (63.9) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Daily mean ° C (° F) </Th> <Td> 2.5 (36.5) </Td> <Td> 4.5 (40.1) </Td> <Td> 8.4 (47.1) </Td> <Td> 12.0 (53.6) </Td> <Td> 17.2 (63) </Td> <Td> 20.8 (69.4) </Td> <Td> 23.6 (74.5) </Td> <Td> 23.3 (73.9) </Td> <Td> 19.0 (66.2) </Td> <Td> 13.3 (55.9) </Td> <Td> 7.1 (44.8) </Td> <Td> 3.1 (37.6) </Td> <Td> 12.9 (55.2) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Average low ° C (° F) </Th> <Td> − 1.2 (29.8) </Td> <Td> 0.1 (32.2) </Td> <Td> 3.4 (38.1) </Td> <Td> 6.8 (44.2) </Td> <Td> 11.7 (53.1) </Td> <Td> 15.4 (59.7) </Td> <Td> 18.0 (64.4) </Td> <Td> 17.8 (64) </Td> <Td> 13.7 (56.7) </Td> <Td> 8.7 (47.7) </Td> <Td> 3.2 (37.8) </Td> <Td> − 0.4 (31.3) </Td> <Td> 8.1 (46.6) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Record low ° C (° F) </Th> <Td> − 18.4 (− 1.1) </Td> <Td> − 18.4 (− 1.1) </Td> <Td> − 10.4 (13.3) </Td> <Td> − 2.2 (28) </Td> <Td> 0.0 (32) </Td> <Td> 3.8 (38.8) </Td> <Td> 7.3 (45.1) </Td> <Td> 8.1 (46.6) </Td> <Td> 2.0 (35.6) </Td> <Td> − 4.6 (23.7) </Td> <Td> − 7.9 (17.8) </Td> <Td> − 15.5 (4.1) </Td> <Td> − 18.4 (− 1.1) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Average precipitation mm (inches) </Th> <Td> 50.9 (2.004) </Td> <Td> 43.3 (1.705) </Td> <Td> 48.7 (1.917) </Td> <Td> 70.4 (2.772) </Td> <Td> 74.2 (2.921) </Td> <Td> 87.2 (3.433) </Td> <Td> 62.6 (2.465) </Td> <Td> 81.7 (3.217) </Td> <Td> 76.2 (3) </Td> <Td> 91.0 (3.583) </Td> <Td> 64.8 (2.551) </Td> <Td> 52.5 (2.067) </Td> <Td> 803.5 (31.634) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Average precipitation days (≥ 1.0 mm) </Th> <Td> 6.8 </Td> <Td> 5.1 </Td> <Td> 6.0 </Td> <Td> 8.9 </Td> <Td> 8.6 </Td> <Td> 8.6 </Td> <Td> 5.5 </Td> <Td> 5.8 </Td> <Td> 6.0 </Td> <Td> 7.4 </Td> <Td> 7.1 </Td> <Td> 6.2 </Td> <Td> 82.0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Average relative humidity (%) </Th> <Td> 85 </Td> <Td> 78 </Td> <Td> 73 </Td> <Td> 75 </Td> <Td> 73 </Td> <Td> 73 </Td> <Td> 73 </Td> <Td> 74 </Td> <Td> 76 </Td> <Td> 81 </Td> <Td> 84 </Td> <Td> 84 </Td> <Td> 77 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Mean monthly sunshine hours </Th> <Td> 94 </Td> <Td> 102 </Td> <Td> 156 </Td> <Td> 180 </Td> <Td> 241 </Td> <Td> 255 </Td> <Td> 304 </Td> <Td> 262 </Td> <Td> 199 </Td> <Td> 158 </Td> <Td> 72 </Td> <Td> 81 </Td> <Td> 2,104 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="14"> Source #1: Servizio Meteorologico (humidity 1961--1990) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="14"> Source #2: Danish Meteorological Institute (sun, 1931--1960) </Td> </Tr> </Table>
