A trip to Verona would not be complete without visiting Juliette's balcony. Which was put there 80 years ago by the Italian govt to please the tourists...shh!
Still the experience of visiting the house (not really hers...shh!) was wonderful, going in the walls were being repainted to cover the messages of love tourists had written everywhere. Some were thanking the love they have found, and some were asking for love. If you took your time there you would find some really beautiful messages.
Whilst the messages outside were being painted over to make way for new ones, inside the house I found this...
I think it was specially commissioned for the house but it features real messages to Juliet about love and all things like that. So not made by an artist pretending but real messages preserved for the house, which is nice considering the ones outside are being re painted.
Thanks for reading xx
