**Today is Juliet’s birthday.**
But when was Juliet truly born?
Our literary research takes us back to Luigi da Porto who, in the early 16th century, wrote in Vicenza the story of two young lovers from Verona: Romeo and Juliet.
A text that predates Shakespeare and already contains many of the elements that would become immortal: Verona, forbidden love, feuding families, the balcony, and tragedy.
From those pages began a journey spanning five centuries—from literature to myth, from myth to the city, and finally to the letters that still reach Juliet from every corner of the world.
Happy birthday, Juliet.
Your story is still being written.
