"Verona Before Juliet - Verona Arena" - Original Work

Handmade by Chenyu Cheng

• "Every time I am in Verona, I cannot help but wonder why Shakespeare repeatedly set his stories in Verona, even though no evidence shows that he had ever been in the town.  It is Shakespeare rather than UNESCO that makes Verona famous,  People, young and old, floor into the town to visit Juliet's house, stand on her balcony and touch her bronze breast... People come here to worship love.  But before Juliet, so many more stories had been told in the Roman amphitheater."- Chenyu Cheng
