A Tragedy

Verona, Aida Agosto 2008 016.JPG

I took this picture some years ago in a beautiful city in Italy, rich of art, architecture and romance.

On 30 November 2000 the city has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.

You can make your way to a street and follow a passage enclosed by walls entirely covered with love letters, phrases and names of lovers who happen to pass by, as you can see in the picture.
The passage leads to a courtyard featuring the famous balcony, proudly erected on the facade of a fourteenth century building.

Many, upon seeing this small balcony, can imagine the romantic dialogue between the two lovers in the moonlight.

To tell the truth though, it's a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. In literature tragedy is a form of drama.

  • Could you guess what's the city?
  • And who are the two lovers?

It's easy to find the right answer.

Well since nobody answered I will: Romeo and Juliet, but I haven’t been there...

Very nice @didobiker. I was there once so I'll let someone else guess the answer. Don't forget that you can also post Italian if you want. Just use the tag "it"

Thank you @kus-knee. I'll try to do it
