The film “Letters to Juliet” has just come out in America and is soon to be on general release in most countries throughout Europe. Starring Vanessa Redgrave and Amanda Seyfried, it’s a romantic comedy set in the north Italian city of Verona. Famous as the setting for Shakespeare’s best loved tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, the plot centres around the curious tradition of writing letters for advice to the tragic heroine and the even more curious Veronese tradition of replying to them.

I’ve been discovering the story behind the story.
