Yes, you guessed it. The photo above is THE balcony in Verona and I expect we should be seeing it at some stage in the film Letters to Juliet, to be released next year. Directed by Gary Winick, the film has been set in various locations in Italy, including the Romeo and Juliet city of Verona, as the title would suggest.

The film synopsis is as follows:

When a young American travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1951, she inspires its author to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined.

It stars Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal and Franco Nero. In what should prove to be an intriguing film, Franco Nero, Redgrave’s husband, plays her love interest.

The film takes inspiration from the book by Lise and Ceil Friedman which collects real-life letters to Shakespeare’s Juliet. Other locations in Italy for the film included the wine cellars at Veneto’s medieval town of Soave. After the jump, a tourist catches a video glimpse of the Letters to Juliet set.
