Verona Legend Mirrors Shakespeare in Old History
The piece recounts Girolamo della Corte’s 1564 account of Romeo and Juliet in Verona. It notes mayor Bartolomeo Scali quelling street duels, the lovers’ meeting at a carnival, and the family feud between Capellettos and Montecchios. The writer draws parallels to Shakespeare and suggests Shakespeare used Della Corte as a source.
