Where is the best place to spend Valentine’s Day this year? Verona, of course, the city that has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO. Everybody knows that Shakespeare set his tragedy ‘Romeo and Juliet’ there. That’s why they decided to organise Verona in love, a series of events held in the city of love. Following the playwright’s 400th death anniversary this year’s edition is dedicated to Shakespeare and his plays. Here some highlights taking place between 11 and 14 February 2016:
Love hunting

Giulietta per un giorno (Giulietta for one day)
Every year thousands of letters get to Verona from all around the world. During Verona in Love Giulietta’s club opens the doors of the Love Letters Museum so you can read the most romantic letters addressed to Juliet and get some inspiration. The most touching messages will be awarded during a ceremony that will be held at the Capuleti’s house on Saturday 13rd.
