The house where the balcony is set is reputed to have belonged to a real Veronese family who's rivalry with a neighbouring clan is supposed to have inspired Shakespeare's story. And wooing a young lady from the courtyard to persuade her to come out onto her balcony, as Shakespeare imagined, was the regular way to court in those days long before facebook. The two most amusing details of this courtyard are first the entrance way, every millimetre of which is covered in romantic graffiti, and second the statue of Juliet, as she is imagined by the sculptor, who it is apparently 'lucky' to touch. Guess where the bronze is most shiny and worn away?
Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin
I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.
