When Romeo gave a sacramental monologue that Juliet radiant, like day, and can "kill the moon by the neighborhood", he asked his beloved to stand at the window. Thousands of romantics from all over the world believe that the house in which the lovely Juliet lived really existed. Today, tourists tend to visit the place where the unprecedented passions described by Shakespeare flared up.
The so-called "House of Juliet" was built in the 13th century and belongs to the old Dal Capello family. The family coat of arms was located on the arch of the house. The building was first sold in the middle of the 17th century, and since then its owners have changed several times. Over time, the house was almost abandoned until the city bought it out in the early 1900s. The legend of Juliet's house appeared due to the similarity of the names of Capello and Capulet.
Restoration work was carried out in the 1930s, and the house received Gothic-style windows and doors. At the same time, “Juliet's balcony” appeared; a carved slab of the 14th century was used for its construction. The interior of the house was also recreated in the spirit of the time described by Shakespeare: ceramics, paintings and furniture appeared in the rooms, which belonged in part to the Capello family. A bronze statue of Juliet was installed in the courtyard. It is noteworthy that her right breast shines brighter than the rest of her body. The reason is simple - every tourist considers it his duty to touch the beauty by making a wish.
Graffiti and declarations of love in different languages can be seen everywhere in the courtyard and on the walls of the building. Unfortunately, in recent years, cases of vandalism against this architectural monument have become more frequent.
