This city is considered one of the most romantic in the world, mainly due to Shakespeare's immortal tragedy "Romeo and Juliet." Most tourists want to see the House of Juliet, the mansion of the Capello family, which served as the inspiration for the Capulet family.
Here, you can find the legendary balcony, and in the courtyard stands a bronze statue of Juliet, which people touch for "good luck." The house has mailboxes and computers, allowing anyone to write a letter to the young lovers. These letters are passed on to volunteers from the organization called "Club di Giulietta," and on September 16, during the celebration of Shakespeare's heroine's birthday, the most touching letters and their authors are honored.
Verona is also rightfully recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in Italy and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its heyday occurred in the 13th-14th centuries, and many architectural and cultural monuments from that time have been preserved. Among the more ancient sites, the Roman amphitheater Arena di Verona is of interest, where, if you're lucky, you can still enjoy an opera performance. The Arena impresses not only with its acoustics but also with its size—it can accommodate up to 22,000 people at once!
Verona
A Romantic Journey into the Past
Verona is called the "love capital of the world" after Shakespeare's immortal work. Nowadays, it is very fashionable to hold marriage ceremonies here, and if you make a wish under the balcony of Juliet's cottage, you can count on eternal faithful love. But even without Shakespearean passions, Verona is fascinating with its landscapes and architecture. The city will also be remembered for all sorts of goodies and excellent shopping.
