your link says venice - wild surmise
You might also try Wikipedia and your favorite search engine. Certainly type it into the VT Search Window above. If all else fails, ask your school reference librarian for help. 8^)
My link refers to the photo of the graffiti wall in Verona in the archway leading to the courtyard where the statue is.
This is the statue that men are meant to rub Juliet's bossom for luck!
(I have a photo of me doing that as well! lol)
(It was a day-trip from Venice)
Maybe some of these info will help:

Ciao

oh now i see
But I agree with your Verona page - I wasn't terribly impressed apart from the Romeo & Juliet bit and the arena.
It wasOK but the next part of the day-trip to Lake Garda was MUCH nicer.
It was hard enough driving in Italy - with NO lane markings - when suddenly this man came close to my windscreen and gestured if i want to buy any flowers! That was at a roundabout on a highway! I was lost momentarily when I first drove into Italy - No lane markings, single lane diverges into 5, all Italian words, road signs of different sizes...But how I love this beautiful place!
In 49bc Verona was granted status as a municipium in the Roman empire. During this time the city walls were built, protecting the citizens from barbarian invaders. One of the 2 remaining city gates is on the Corsa Cavour. This gate is called the Porta Borsari and constitutes the model for Veneto Renaissance architecture.
You pass through this structure when walking between the Castelvecchio and the Palazzo Maffei in the Piazza Erbe.
This four-sided arch can be found near the Castelvecchio museum. It was built in first part of 1st century AD in honour of the Gavi family, important members of Veronese Roman society. It originally spanned Via Postumia, in what is now Corso Castelvecchio, on the site of the Clock Tower. Demolished during French rule (1805), it was rebuilt alongside Castelvecchio in 1932. This monument, entirely in local white limestone, bears two inscriptions with the name of its builder, architect Lucio Vitruvio Cerdone, a rare occurrence in the ancient world. The niches on the sides of the arch originally contained statues of Gavi family members. Seems a shame that some awful modern art structure has ben stuck in front of it though :-S
The house belonged to the Capulets, the powerful medieval Veronese family.
From the internal courtyard, which is always overcrowded by the tourists from all over the world, you can see the famous balcony which plays such an important part in the legend.
Every year, in a weekend in the first half of may, there is this open-air event..... about food flavours!
Foods from most of the regions of Italy, oils, and a few wines are sold by open air stalls in the main squares of Verona (hence the name of the event).
You can find things you only heard about, and even foods you NEVER heard about, like the red olives from Sicily I tasted from the stall on pic #1-
Special breads from Puglie (Altamura), salamis of all kinds from Calabria and Umbria, cheeses from all over Italy, sweets (loved expecially the one from Sicily and Sardinia: the green looking cassata of the low right corner of pic #4 was to die for!)
And specialities from our areas, too.
There is also a "dining" space: free benches where you can eat the "primi" (mainly risotti) or meats you buy fresh at popular places, like in any country fair, and eat directly side by side of the roman Arena.
Place: Piazza Bra and/or Piaza Erbe
