\n

In case you are unaware, Verona is the setting for the world\u2019s most popular (and tragic) love story, Romeo and Juliet<\/i>. Verona is also the setting for two of Shakespeare\u2019s other plays – The Two Gentlemen of Verona<\/i> and The Taming of the Shrew<\/i> \u2013 but with Valentine\u2019s Day right around the corner, we are going to stick to with love. Seems like an appropriate theme for this time of year.<\/p>\n

Exploring Verona and Its Connection to Romeo and Juliet<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The third largest city in Northeast Italy, Verona has a population of 714,274. And, partially due to its connection to Shakespeare, the city is also one of the largest tourist destinations in Northern Italy. It also doesn\u2019t hurt that Verona is home to beautiful architecture, several annual fairs, numerous shows and operas, and the ancient amphitheater built by the Romans. But we are most interested in the city\u2019s connection to Romeo and Juliet<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Juliet\u2019s House<\/b><\/p>\n

The house in Verona, better known to most as Juliet\u2019s house, dates back to the 13th<\/sup> century, when it was owned by the family Dal Capello. The city of Verona bought Juliet\u2019s house from the Dal Capello family in 1905. The famous balcony itself, however, was not added until the 20th<\/sup> century. But that does not stop tourists.<\/p>\n

Each and every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists travel to Verona to see the balcony where Juliet stood as Romeo confessed his undying love for her. Who cares if they aren\u2019t real <\/i>people? Who cares if they never really existed? Romeo and Juliet are \u201calive\u201d in the imaginations of Shakespeare fans across the globe.<\/p>\n

Inside Juliet\u2019s house you will find a small museum. Outside, in the courtyard, is a bronze statue of Juliet that people often rub for luck. But what is perhaps most noteworthy (pun intended) is the countless love notes stuck on the walls and doors in the entrance of the courtyard. According to popular myth, any couple who writes down their love vows and places them in the wall will stay together for the rest of their lives and will be very happy.<\/p>\n

How romantic!<\/p>\n
