My Day as a Secretary of Juliet, Answering the World’s Love Letters | Vogue
"Verona’s approximation of where Romeo and Juliet’s balcony scene could have taken place, it’s essentially a graffiti-covered courtyard where visitors pose with a bronze Juliet statue, cupping her right breast for “good luck.” They also write her letters, dropping them in a red mailbox or smushing them to the wall with wads of chewed gum—it’s gross, really—yet something sincere slips through: people travel from all over the world to scribble down their romantic angst and send it into the void." - Kate Brennan
