Return to Verona
Poet involved
What happened
In 56 BCE, Catullus returned to his hometown of Verona after spending significant time in Rome. This return allowed him to reconnect with his roots and reflect on his experiences in the capital. The contrast between the provincial life of Verona and the bustling city of Rome influenced his later poetry, as he often drew upon his origins in his work.
Literary impact
The return to Verona provided Catullus with a renewed perspective on his identity and the themes he explored in his poetry. This juxtaposition between his rural origins and urban experiences deepened the emotional resonance of his work, allowing him to articulate the complexities of love and belonging.
