Along the ancient Roman cardo maximus, the current Via Cappello in Verona , there is a medieval tower-house through whose entrance hall - on the sides of which two plasterboard panels 'host' love notes, signatures and phrases of lovers who are here find to pass - you enter the courtyard of the house itself.
The keystone of the lowered arch of the portico facing the courtyard shows the emblem of the family who lived there, a hat.
A balcony makes a fine show of itself on the facade of the adjoining fourteenth-century building that can be seen on the right as you enter.
We are talking about the very famous Casa di Giulietta or the Dal Cappello family, the spice merchants who developed their homes here first with two adjacent medieval towers and then with a later construction. The courtyard was originally larger and did not have the two sixteenth-century additions that now house a souvenir shop and the foyer of the Nuovo theater, as well as an early twentieth-century condominium.
Juliet's house is not far from the central Piazza delle Erbe.
14th century Gothic house with museum and stone balcony made famous by Shakespeare.
