 Juliet's Balcon by Azhut
In my picture you can see on of the two key monuments of the tragedy: Capuleti house. Capuleti house was long property of Dal Cappello family. The building dates from the XII century. In 1905 the house was purchased by the City of Verona. The building took on its current aspect only seventy years ago.

 the statue and balcony of
Julia / Giulietta by globetrott
During the day thousands , mainly male tourists are trying to touch the right breast of the statue of Giuletta and get a photo as well while doing so.
Look at this statue, that is completely cleaned by all of these touches, while the face is almost black.
It is ment for good luck and ever-lasting love...
There is NO guarantee, but maybe it will work, so why not trying yourself.
During the day you may hardly ever find a quiet moment inside that lovely innercourt with the famous balcony and the statue of Juliet. Leave a Comment

 Arco della Costa / the arch of
the Rib by globetrott
There is a ledgend, saying that the whale-rib will not fall down untill the moment, that a person walks under it, who never told a lie .
Kings and popes walked underneath and nothing happened - the bone remained there even in the moment, when Lothar(lerch) and I went under it....
...I simply DO NOT believe such ledgends...
...but there are certainly more rewards in real life for liars than for people who stick to the truth . But where else than in Verona will they also be thrown a whale-rip on their head, when walking at the wrong places...?? :-) Leave a Comment

As homeland of Romeo & Juliet, Verona celebrates St. Valentine in a special way.... See the central shopping street of Via Mazzini full of red hearts decoratios for Feb, 14th 2006.
In those days, there is "Schermi d'Amore" a "sentimental and melo international film festival".
Of course, every Feb, 14th the "Dear Juliet" award is given to the best love letter sent to Juliet.
Yes, load of letters are sent every year to Juliet, and a few secretaries (no joke, it's for real!) read them all, often reply giving advice.... and select the best for the finals of the love letetrs award!.
See the above link for more! So, are you a real romantic soul? Write to Juliet! Leave a Comment

 the wish tree by sandysmith
Messages of good will and love adorn the tree with this poem by Marina Begnini :
"Hang your wish on a tree, it will be
Kissed by the sun
Caressed by the Moon
Wet by the rain
Lit by the star"

 Shakepeare's bust in San
Francesco Cloister by sandysmith

There are so many contradictions regarding W. Shakespeare and his work, some experts doubt he ever visited Italy and Verona, others doubts he wrote all those novels among which "Romeo and Juliet" is probably the best known. To those who visiting Verona it is absolutely irelevant, this beautiful town, which is crowded by historic sights of world's importance, is best known for its love legend and most of tourists visiting it just because of it.
The city of Verona honoured W. Shakespeare by relatively small bust which is hardly visible if one isn't in its close distance. Besides, it is placed on Portoni della Bra as it was idea to hide it from the visitors of the town. On the other hand, that is my impression only and of course it might be wrong. Leave a Comment
