Romeo and Juliet ITALIAN Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy composed between 1595 and 1596 by William Shakespeare. It is one of the most popular love stories in the world, mainly because, over time, it has become the archetype of perfect love and has taken on a symbolic value. It is about how two noble families in Verona, the Montecchi family and the Capuleti family, despised and hated each other, but despite this, the two lovers of the two families did everything they could to keep their strong love hidden and safe. Nicoletti Costanza

Romeo and Juliet's attempt to try to save her love with Romeo by pretending to be dead in order to annul her marriage was in vain because Romeo, seeing her lying there, decided that like his beloved's, his life too must come to an end. When Juliet woke up she found her great love dead next to her, poisoned, so she stabbed herself. Both tragic suicides but both were proof of true love for the whole world. Nicoletti Costanza

THE THEATRE The theatre was very popular at that time, because unfortunately there were not many other ways to pass the time. Women were not allowed to act at that time, so the female roles were played by young boys, who had not yet grown a beard or changed their voice. One of the most famous writers of comedies and tragedies was William Shakespeare, who wrote the famous tragedy "Romeo and Juliet".
