Lonely Planet review

Just off Via Giuseppe Mazzini, central Verona's main shopping street, is the Casa di Giulietta. Romeo and Juliet may have been fictional, but here you can swoon beneath what popular myth says was her balcony or, if in need of a new lover, approach a bronze statue of Juliet and rub her right breast for good luck. Others have made their eternal mark by adding to the slew of scribbled love graffiti on the walls leading into the courtyard.

It is, by the way, doubtful there ever was a feud between the Cappello and Montecchi families (the former may well have lived in this building), on whom Shakespeare based the play.
