Already answered on "Can Anyone Read This"! My daughter is in Verona quite often, a short train ride from Padua (Padova)!

Verona also has a Roman theatre, over the river and up the mountainside!

Next try - Souverain.
They were used as accommodation hulks at Toulon for French troops en route to and from North Africa.
If not then third shot - Mars.
