Apparently the idea of posting electronic messages was too unromantic, so old fashioned love notes continued to cover the building. Eventually the building was literally coated with letters, graffiti and chewing gum, used to stick the love notes. "We had to close the house to clean it properly. We have now solved the problem by placing large, removable wooden panels on the walls. Visitors can leave their love message there, and we can easily clean the panels every two-three months," Polato said. According to Polato, requests for Juliet weddings are growing as fast as the love notes accumulate on the building's walls. "We are receiving hundreds of requests from Italy, Europe, Japan and the United States," Polato said. At the House of Juliet, many visitors agree that the place would be the most romantic of settings to get married, according to a report by the Italian news agency ANSA. "This is the perfect spot. But don't forget that we are talking of a Shakespeare's creation. I would have expected a discount for British couples," Paul, a tourist from England, told ANSA. Related Links: |
