Our itinerary through Verona goes up to Castel St Pietro hill, to enjoy a full view of the city. Then Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, the ghetto, the river… But no matter what, Verona is mostly the city of Romeo and Juliet. The very first “soap opera” in history, told and made immortal by Shakespeare. Juliet’s house is always crowded, full of tourists, with its famous balcony. Juliet is still an icon of pure love and she gets a lot of letters by lovers in pain from all over the world… no kidding!
