Villafranca di Verona

Villafranca di Verona is a town and comune in the province of Verona in the Veneto, Northern Italy.

History

The position on the ancient via Postumia and the perpendicular intersection structure of its roads suggests that the city had Roman origins.

In the Middle Ages, in occasion of the foundation of the Rectors' Council of Verona, on March 9, 1185, it received the privilege of a tax free town, from which derived the name of villa franca.

In the history it is remembered because of the "Treaty of Villafranca", which concluded the Second Italian Independence War, and the battle of 24 June 1866, during the Third War of Italian Independence.

Main sights

  • Castle, built from 1199. One of its towers has stones coming from an arch entitled to the Roman emperor Tiberius. The castle was destroyed several times, but was rebuilt by the Republic of Venice, until it was abandoned in 1450.
  • Church of Disciplina or of Visitazione (15th century). Donated by the Count Giorgio Maffei in 1499 to the Confraternity of Disciplinati, it has a Baroque façade and houses the "Mortorio", recently restored, a group of 9 wooden statues showing Jesus Christ, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimatea, Mary, Mary of Cleofa, Mary Betania, Mary Magdalene and the former owner of the Church.

    Alpo (pet food)

    Alpo is an American brand of dog food marketed and manufactured by the Nestlé Purina PetCare subsidiary of Nestlé. The brand is offered as a canned or packaged soft food, as well as in dry kibbles.

    History

    Alpo, an abbreviation of Allen Products, was founded in 1936 by Robert F. Hunsicker in Allentown, Pennsylvania. In 1964, the Allen Products Company was acquired by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. In 1980, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company was acquired by Grand Metropolitan and in 1986 Grand Metropolitan sold the Liggett Group but kept Alpo Petfoods, Inc. In 1995, Nestlé SA acquired Alpo Petfoods, Inc. from Grand Metropolitan. In January 2001, Nestlé SA announced the merger of Nestlé Friskies with Ralston Purina to form the Nestlé Purina PetCare Company.

    Marketing

    For many years, the brand's main television commercial spokesman was Lorne Greene, who created the concept of eating one's own dog food by claiming that Alpo is so good he feeds it to his own dogs. Ed McMahon also had a long association with the product on television, and Garfield was a "spokescat" for the brand in the 1990s. Alpo was the sponsor of the debut broadcast of the long-running television news magazine 60 Minutes, on September 24, 1968.

    Give a little hope to our love
    I wish, I wish
    Rain could wash your tears away
    Give a little time
    and give a little hope to our love
    Seit Tagen ist mein Leben
    Für mich ohne Sinn
    Beweg' mich nur im Kreis statt zu dir hin
    Weil ich weiß
    Wie enttäuscht du von mir bist
    Und ehrlich: Wie hab' ich dich vermisst
    Du sprichst kein Wort
    Kein Ort, der nicht nach dir schmeckt
    Und weckt ein Gefühl, das in mir steckt
    Dich zurückgewinnen - neue Pläne spinnen
    lass uns doch noch mal von vorn beginnen
    Love is like a smooth summer rain
    I wish that you'll be back again
    Holding back the good times
    Forget about the past
    Won't let you down
    Sag nicht was du willst
    Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go -
    Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil
    Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry!
    Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle
    Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende
    I wish, I wish
    I could take your fears away
    Love and hate
    Is tearing us apart
    Komm' zurück zu mir
    I wish, I wish
    Rain could wash your tears away
    Give a little time
    And give a little hope to our love
    Ich geb' dir all die Zeit und dauert es ein Jahr
    Ich will nie wieder gehen, ich bin für dich da
    Und immer schon gewesen
    Nur konnt' ich's nie zeigen
    Nun lass mich nicht auf ewig leiden
    Ein kleines Abenteuer
    Ist ein Feuer, was schnell verglüht
    Wer einmal lügt, sich selbst betrügt
    Ich will's nie wieder wissen
    Hab' dein Herz zerrissen
    Will zurück zu dir, dich nie mehr missen
    Love is like a smooth summer rain
    I wish that you'll be back again
    Holding back the good times
    Forget about the past
    Won't let you down
    Sag nicht was du willst
    Sag mir, was ich hören will | Won't let you go -
    Sag mir, dass ich ein Teil
    Aus deinem Leben bin | Won't let you cry!
    Dass ich dir fehle - dein Gewissen quäle
    Bereit' dem ein Ende - bereit' dem ein Ende
    I wish, I wish
    I could take your fears away
    Love and hate
    Is tearing us apart
    Komm' zurück zu mir
    I wish, I wish
    Ich wünsch es mir so sehr
    Rain could wash your tears away
    Give a little time
    And give a little hope to our love
    Es tut so weh
    I wish, I wish
    I could take your fears away
    Love and hate
    Is tearing us apart
    Komm' zurück zu mir
    I wish, I wish
    Rain could wash your tears away
    Give a little time
    And give a little hope to our love
    Für unsere Liebe
