When one sees the splendid city of Verona, one of the obligatory stops is undoubtedly Juliet`s house, the character rendered immortal by the tragedy of William Shakespeare. Just go to Via Cappello and enter a passage where the walls are completely covered by love cards, signatures and phrases of lovers who are here to pass ... From the passage leads to a courtyard where the famous balcony shows off on the facade of the annexed fourteenth-century building. The Hat were spice merchants who built their dwellings here, first with two adjacent medieval towers and then with another building. The courtyard, originally, was larger and did not have the two sixteenth century additions that now house a souvenir shop and the foyer of the New Theater, as well as a building of the early twentieth century.
