Valentine's Day in Verona, the Italian city of love

Love is in the streets
 Chosen for its magical scenarios to accompany the novel love story of Romeo and Juliet, Verona has been the city of eternal love since Shakespeare’s most acclaimed work of art. Symbol of one of the most romantic tales in the world, among these streets a young star-crossed love was born to be later strongly opposed and pulled apart by the rivalry of two powerful local families.

Juliet’s House
 In Via Cappello, in-love travellers will find the Shakespearian heroine’s mansion, in particular the legendary balcony featured in the famous scene in which Romeo, hidden under his beloved’s balcony, hears her speak alone and discovers that she reciprocates his feelings. The stone-made walls are covered with love messages and to protect the secrecy of letters hidden in small holes among the stones. Especially if you are looking for a big sign to declare your love, legend says to caress Juliet’s bronze statue as an omen of good fortune.

A dreamlike view over Piazza dei Signori
 With its 84 metres of altitude, Torre dei Lamberti is one of the city’s symbols open to the public. On 14th February, couples can celebrate their day by using special promotions to admire the big red heart set in the centre of the square, a symbol of Valentine’s Day in Verona.
