Italy sketch journal Day 8

Verona is quite big and tourist-like. they had one of the Roman Colusseums from ancient Rome. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to enter it. However, I did get a chance to see something just as equally historical. The House of Juliet where Romeo and Juliet takes place in. Now before I confuse you all on why a fictional house From Wiliam Shakespeare is historical, let me explain. Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona, which is a real place and a popular tourist destination, next to Rome or Pompeii. The house was originally owned by the Cappello Family until the family sold it in 1905. After that, the daughter of Verona's burgher declared it as Juliet's house to commemerate the fictional character and how the play made an impact in Playwright and history.

There is a website that would better explain the history of the house. http://www.venere.com/blog/fun-facts-juliets-house-356/

Anyways, My sister and I explored the house. The house seemed like historical scenes from the play, as if "Romeo and Juliet" actually happened. Everything was ressenance themed. I could go on and on about the intereror of the house, but it would require a journal entry for it. assuming if I can properly put it in words.

I know I am way late on uploading these. But like i said, I have been away from the internet more often than i normally do.
