A Valentine in Verona
It is almost that time of year again, when love is in the air, the color red is everywhere you look, and couples exchange gifts of flowers and chocolate.
Buon San Valentino!!
Can you think of a more romantic place in the world than the town where the most famous literary love story of all time occurred? In the quaint town of Verona, Italy, Romeo first laid eyes on the love of his life, the beautiful Juliet. (la bella Giulietta)
Their love story was an absolute whirlwind full of secret meetings, sword fights, stolen kisses (baci), beautiful poetry (poesia), and forbidden affairs. While Shakespeare himself had never personally been to Verona, he captured the absolute beauty and timelessness of this magical place, where love is thriving all year-round. In Verona, you can experience beautiful architecture as you walk along the streets, shop in charming stores that line the Italian alleyways, see street performers entertaining on every corner, and walk through the house of Juliet. (la casa di Giulietta)
“Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
You can experience firsthand the house that the artistic Shakespeare envisioned for his heroine, Juliet. You can stand on the balcony where Romeo poetically called to his love. You can see the love locks (lucchetti), leave Juliet a letter about your own personal love story (storia d’amore), or you can write your loves name on the wall to symbolize your eternal love and leave a piece of yourself in Verona.
Even the food in Verona is sending a message of romance!! (un messaggio romantico)
Can you visualize a place more romantic to fall in love? Can you dream of a more beautiful place to get engaged or to say your wedding vows in? While we have yet to plan a wedding in Verona, we would love the chance to put on a ceremony of love in the heart of the town that celebrates a classic love story every day.
“Can I go forward when my heart is here?”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
No matter where in the world you are this Valentine’s Day, the Art of Perfection Events Team hopes your day is full of love (amore), laughter (riso), a little magic (magia) and a lot of chocolate (cioccolato).
“You are a lover. Borrow Cupid’s wings and soar with them above a common bound.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
