Summary
[edit]DescriptionJuliet's House, Via Cappello, Verona - Balcony (4812700838).jpg |
This is Juliet's House on Via Cappello in Verona. It is the site that inspired the balcony from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The play was famously set here in Verona, Italy. There was loads of tourists here. I found that a lot of the walls had things written on them, including bits of paper stuck on the wall, but mostly graffiti. The tall building dates from the 13th century, with a mellow brick facade. Tradition in Verona has it that this was the house of the Capulets, the powerful Veronese family to which Juliet belonged. From the inner courtyard, recently restored and around which the house, one can see the balcony which plays such an important part in the legend. Next to this balcony, some lines of Shakespeare's famous tragedy are engraved on a plaque in Italian and English. Above information from: "Verona: History and Masterpieces - English Edition". It is now the House of Juliet Museum. It has been the official property of the Dal Cappello family since the 1200s. From this derives the name Capuleti, the noble house of Juliet. Since the early 1800s it has been a place of pilgramage for travellers. It had been restored three times during the 20th century. The facade also boasts a beautiful Gothic portal, arched windows and architectural ormamentation from the late 1400s. This is the famous balcony everyone comes to see. Note that this house and street has nothing to do with Fabio Cappello (as far as I'm aware he is not a distant relation). |
