I just bought the new movie called Letters To Juliet recently, and something just seemed familiar about it. Like something I seen on a TV show from the Travel Channel.

  So I did a little research and found my former suspicions to be correct. This movie isn’t just your typical romance film, but is somewhat based in reality. And what I thought I recognized from a Travel Channel episode was indeed aired before.
  The Casa di Giulietta or Juliet’s House is in fact a real place in Verona, Italy. The movie filmed a few of it’s scenes in this place.

  It is a myth however that the famed Juliet Capulet from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet once lived here. Many think that the balcony in the photo above is where the famous love scene took place, but in reality it was added to the building in the 1930’s.
  But despite these facts, thousands of romantics alike flock to this lovely place. It is a place where the broken-hearted write notes asking for advice and attach them to the walls.

  And there are real Secretaries of Juliet that collect these letters and answer them. Letters in many languages and from many countries, but they are all answered. It may seem like a daunting task to accomplish, but they manage to do it time and time again.
 So if you visit and want to leave a note for Juliet, make sure to bring a pen, paper and some tape to attach your note on the wall.
  But besides the locations for the film, there was one other fact that seemed to float somewhere below most of the radar. One of movie’s stars, Vanessa Redgrave, has her own share of this romance. The man who plays the character of Lorenzo is none other than Franco Nero, her real life husband. But the similarities don’t end there. Like the characters in the film, these two finally reconnected with each other with decades after they first met on the set of the 1967 film Camelot.
  So maybe fairytale romances aren’t such a stretch. Occasionally it can happen, so you never know, maybe your’s could be next!
