Battle in 'fair Verona' over balcony and courtyard where Romeo wooed his lover Juliet
Forget the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues – a battle is being waged over the courtyard and balcony in “fair Verona” where Romeo is supposed to have wooed Juliet. In the latest round of a long-running saga, an Italian tribunal has rejected plans by Verona city council to drastically reduce the number of tourists who can visit the celebrated location. Before the pandemic killed tourism stone dead, the balcony and courtyard – part of a gothic stone palazzo known as Juliet’s House – were a hugely popular tourist attraction in the city in northern Italy. Four centuries after Shakespeare celebrated the “star-cross’d lovers” in his enduring tragedy, visitors flocked to see the house where Juliet was supposed to have lived – despite the fact that she was a fictional character.

Analysis-Friendly fire threatens ex-PMs' bid to rebuild Italy centre-left
Giuseppe Conte, the new head of Italy's 5-Star Movement, and Enrico Letta, who has just taken charge of the Democratic Party (PD), want to join forces to rebuild the country's fractured centre-left. The two former prime ministers believe a partnership of reformed progressive parties is the only way to prevent what seems a near-inevitable victory for a potent rightist bloc at an election that may come as soon as next year. "If we are to win we have to form a broad coalition, and the 5-Star Movement, which has evolved very positively to become pro-European, has to be part of it," Letta said immediately after becoming PD leader last month.
