Casa di Guiletta


The city of Verona has made itself a tourist destination around Shakespeare enthusiasts, as well as lovers.


Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Flocks of tourists making the pilgrimage to Verona to honor Juliet, stand on her balcony, write love letters to her, and walk through her family home.

You can enter the home, where it is sparsely decorated in items of the period, as well as a few women's dresses of the period.

Not your forte? Too many tourists? Head over to Tomba dei Guiletta, where the town has the church where Romeo and Juliet are said to have held their secret wedding ceremony, as well as the tomb that Juliet laid in.
