The wall of locks.

Brittany and Kylie wanting some luck, feeling awkward, but wanting some luck anyway.


While Juliet's house is a museum, Romeo's home is actually a living residence so this is the only indication that you are at the right place. Along the plack that has Juliet's famous saying. Hard to read because of all the graffiti. Look close.


Romeo's home is actually more of a castle than a home. The swallowtail battlements found on the Bra Bridge are also found on the the top of Romeo's  home. These were a representation of the Ghibelline faction. The Montecchi or Montigue's were a part of the Ghibelline faction. The Cappelletti or Capulet's were a part of the Guelphs factions. These two factions could live in the same town but be mortal enemies. So their love truly was a life and death situation.
