The Balcony and Other Cool Places
What was it really like in Verona, Italy during the time that Romeo is said to have wooed his fair Juliet? What was this little Italian village like? And who ruled the town? Is there any possibility that it's a true story, this of Juliet and her Romeo? What does it look like there now? What could we see of the place where Shakespeare set this romantic tragedy? How has the story of Romeo and Juliet shaped the town of Verona? Where is Mantua (Romeo is banished here) in relation to Verona? How far away is it, really?
