Literary Video: Romeo and Juliet

Juliet's house in Verona.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.

Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

People in Verona insist that Romeo and Juliet is based on a true story, and you can take tours of their houses in that city. It's certainly an urban legend going back to the 14th Century, and there were feuding families with (more or less) the same names. That's Juliet's house in the picture.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
