Juliet's house
Juliet’s house, or Casa di Giulietta in Italian, also has its own fate. Built in the 12th century, the house was originally the residence of the Capello family (almost identical to the Capuletti family name in the story). In 1667, the Capello family sold their house to the Rissardi family and the new owners turned the house into a hotel. This is where the tourists stop to stay overnight and the owners of the house tell them about the character of Shakespeare used to live here. In fact, this house is no different from any house in Italy. In 1907, it was auctioned off and bought by the city government. Subsequently, the Verona city government decided to establish a museum.
