Day Nineteen - Photo a Day

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.

Day Eighteen - Photo a Day

A beautiful little plaque in Verona. It was underneath a scroll like metal statue with pictures telling the tale of Romeo and Juliet, found just outside the Colosseum/ Amphitheatre.

Loved this little message. Even more so when the guide told us the Italian govt made a grave for Juliet just to please the American tourists. The sentiment still stands though :)
