The enduring legend of Shakespeare’s pair of star-crossed lovers draws millions of visitors to Verona, Italy, each year. But that is just part of the story.
Every day, letters, frequently addressed simply, “ Juliet, Verona, ” arrive in the city. They come by the truckload, in almost every language imaginable, written by romantics seeking Juliet’s counsel. Most of the missives talk of love, of course ?love found & love lost, love sought & love remembered. &, amazingly, not one letter goes unanswered.
Letters to Juliet tells the story of these letters & the volunteers who have been writing responses for more than seven decades volunteers who first acted privately & who are now sanctioned by the city of Verona as part of the Juliet Club.
