Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Romeo and Juliet

The balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet is a famous scene. It follows the meeting of Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, at a party in Juliet's home. Romeo sneaks into the party, uninvited, and when he sees Juliet, he is instantly smitten. After the party, Romeo jumps over the Capulet´s garden wall, and searches for Juliet. Romeo hides in the garden and soon observes Juliet walking onto the balcony outside her room. Following the local tradition the patio seen here was Capulet´s garden - and the balcony on the right is, where Juliet stood. Today tourists can stand there - for a little fee.

This tunnel leads to the most crowded place I have been on in Verona. The walls are covered with graffiti. Many literary scholars agree, that at one time in his life Mr. William Shakespeare has travelled in Italy, but I doubt that he walked through this tunnel. Maybe Mark Knopfler or Bruce Springsteen have been here... Dire Straits www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0dwIFqlLXM Bruce Springsteen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXSU7FcOiVE
