Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail continues to strengthen its presence in Italy with the opening of a new Aelia Duty Free store at Verona Airport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This 600m\u00b2 walkthrough retail space, now open to all departing passengers, offers travellers a carefully crafted shopping experience that combines world-class retail with a deep connection to the city\u2019s unique identity. Inspired by Verona\u2019s rich cultural heritage and Shakespeare\u2019s timeless story of Romeo and Juliet, the store creates a sense of place that immerses shoppers in a narrative as memorable as their visit to this beautiful city.<\/p>\n

Designed to optimise passenger flow and elevate the in-store experience, the store layout ensures smooth navigation and clear zoning across product categories. Travellers can choose between staffed checkouts and self-checkout options, for a more seamless and flexible shopping journey.<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s design pays tribute to Shakespeare\u2019s legendary play: the prologue is inscribed on the exterior columns, contrasting floor colours evoke the Montagues and Capulets, and a reproduction of Juliet\u2019s famous balcony will soon be installed. The Scaliger family emblem, a historical symbol of Verona, is also featured in the architectural details framing the backwalls.<\/p>\n

The product offer has been carefully curated to meet the needs of both local and international travellers, and includes:<\/p>\n

o Luxury perfumery and cosmetics from leading global brands
\no Gourmet food and confectionery, featuring local delicacies and international specialties
\no A wide range of wines and spirits, including regional Italian labels, with tasting areas
\no Fashion accessories
\no Premium tobacco products
\no Authentic souvenirs reflecting the spirit of Verona<\/p>\n
