Piazza Erbe during market hoursThe stands were mostly just tourist junk but the square was one of the most picturesque in all of Verona. Notice the frescoed buildings in the background.
Daunting DanteHe was annoyed that Juliet (a totally fictional character) was getting more attention than he was. Only about a block separated the two. Juliet's balcony was packed with tourists and Dante was here, assuming his position void of visitors.
Juliet's WallA symbol of Romeo and Juliet's undying love. Tourists from around the world come to this very spot to attach their love letters to this wall with their used gum. Romantic or disgusting, you decide.
Juliet's balconyAt the very top of this picture is the balcony from which Juliet is rumored to have made her famous soliloquy to Romeo. "Romeo, Romeo, whereforart thou Romeo?"
