The Ancient city that was home to Romeo and Juliet, where the events occur that led to their tragic death, very well preserved.

In medieval Verona lived two noble family that served as the prototypes of the Montagues and the Capulets: Monticola family of Dal Capello.

However, it is not necessary to be overly fastidious. The city authorities did everything possible to restore the interior of the house in which lived the main heroine of the tragedy of "Romeo and Juliet” where the action takes place, during which the lovers meet, and then say goodbye. The ball probably took place on the third floor-a spacious hall with fireplace, decorated with the coat of arms of the Del Capello. The interior of the room Juliet lovingly recreated by the famous painting by F. Ayeza "Last kiss" where the artist has depicted the parting of lovers.
Not far from Verona preserved remains of an ancient Franciscan monastery, which probably was the cell of brother Lorenzo – monk, which combined the secret marriage of Romeo and Juliet. Where the action is directly related to the wedding, the drama is not mentioned but, according to legend, this Ordinance took place in this monastery.
Shortly after the wedding, the protagonist becomes a fugitive. In seeking to avenge the death of his friend Mercutio, he vehemently fights with Tibaldo – a cousin's wife – and kills him.
Patience of the people of Verona is full. All are outraged, including the Duke the ruler of a city. As survivors of the fighters were only Romeo, the anger concentrated on him, he is forced to leave Verona, and his young wife.
Meanwhile, the bride trying to marry. One of the most violent is the scene of the drama "Romeo and Juliet” where the action takes place in the room of the protagonist. Here recently parted lovers, and now the head of the family Capulet throws in the face of the daughter of the cruel words: if a girl does not marry the count, he's not her father.
To understand the whole series of tragic events of the play «Romeo and Juliet” where and when the action takes place – it is important. It is a medieval town XIV century, in which noble lords are civil war and where the desire of the bride is not necessarily a prerequisite for marriage. In those days daughters really could not stand on ceremony: threats Capulet is not empty – in his power to condemn Juliet to hunger and wandering.
Friar Laurence agree to help: he gives thirteen-year-old girl a bottle with a terrible drug. After drinking it, she falls asleep a dead sleep.
Then begins the fifth and last act of the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet”, where the action is on the street in Mantua, a city in 40 km from Verona (in an “incredible distances” from the house the main character is serving his exile). To him is servant and reports that Juliet is dead. At the same time messenger of his brother Lorenzo, who needs to be warned that death is falsified, late, with this important news. Immediately a young Montague buys from the Apothecary's poison and hastens to meet its destiny.
The Denouement of the drama "Romeo and Juliet” where the action takes place in the family vault of the Capulets, is known to every person who can read. According to legend, this place was on the territory of that same monastery, where married characters.
Juliet's Tombtoday it is considered one of the most popular sights of Verona. In an underground room where there is the entrance through the churchyard is a coffin of red marble. In it were buried the young lover Romeo.
One hundred percent sure, of course not, but the tomb itself and the sarcophagus – authentic, very ancient. It is possible that there rested a victim of unrequited love, especially the story of the imaginary girl's death that resulted in the suicide of her lover, and then this death of the heroine, appears in Italian literature repeatedly and (in fact) long before the first edition of Shakespeare's tragedy. A similar story described in Ovid in “Metamorphosis”, and because they are, quite possibly, was established in the first century BC.
