When in Verona...

Casa di Giulietta

"Casa di Giulietta", the home in Verona that is believed to have belonged to the family of Juliet Capulet, (made famous by Shakespeare) attracts thousands of tourists each year.  The house has a small balcony, which many believe is the one that Romeo stood under to call to his true love.

Women from around the world come to the house to leave letters addressed to the spirit of Juliet, in hopes that she will answer their prayers for romance. They place the letters within the walls of the building, or even write their names and wishes on the walls themselves.  Those who cannot make the trip to Italy simply send letters, begging Juliet for help.

Couples come to engrave their names on the home, as though to solidify their love by permanently etching it within a structure representing one of history's greatest romances. Legend says that rubbing the statue of Juliet that is located in the courtyard will bring good fortune.

When your love life has you feeling down, write a letter to Juliet. (It's much cheaper than flying to Verona) She may just have the answers you're looking for.
