Are there elements of historical truth in the legend of the two lovers of Verona? What role did Dante, the Scaligeri and the Franciscan friars have? How could the story have gone in the reality of medieval Verona? Why was the legend born in the Venetian sixteenth century, in a specific cultural circle?

 

We will seek answers to these and other questions, investigating a story in the alleys of Verona, which is perhaps even more fascinating than the legend itself. And leading the way will be Romeo and Juliet in person, with some of the most famous scenes, performed in the original language, in unexpected places!
