Reply to comment by radio_allah in TIL The city of Verona, Italy, where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is set, receives thousands of letters addressed to Juliet every Valentine's Day. The letters are answered by a team of volunteers known as the "Juliet Club." by basictoknow

Yeah the original story is from Luigi Da Porto, and follows Romeo Montecchi and Giulietta Cappelletti and was written in 1530, then it got translated and changed and Shakespeare gets all the credit
