These people are volunteers and they read and reply
to over 5,000 letters to ‘Juliet’ every year! In 2010
the film Letters to Juliet came out. It tells the story
of one person’s letter. As a result, more people

magazines in their own countries, but there is one
place in Italy which receives problem letters from all
over the world. And this is all because of the story of
the famous lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is a love story
which is set in Verona, Italy. But many people

really lived in Verona. Today many tourists visit a
house in Verona which they believe was Juliet’s
family home. They take photographs and touch the
statue of Juliet to bring them luck in love. For over a
century, it has been traditional to leave letters on a
wall there asking Juliet for advice. People from
different countries have also written to her about
their relationship problems. Many letters are
addressed to ‘Juliet, Verona, Italy’.
