Monument to Juliet Capuleti, Bronze statue at Casa di Giulietta in Verona, Italy.

The monument to Juliet Capuleti is a bronze figure by Nereo Costantini standing on a rough, rounded bronze base in the courtyard of Casa di Giulietta. The woman wears a long draped dress gathered at the waist, her right hand at her chest and her left lowered near her hip, her head tilted slightly down and her hair pulled back. The bronze is dark with golden-brown highlights, and the right breast and forearm are worn smooth and bright from contact.

Nereo Costantini made the bronze in 1968 for the Verona Lions Club, who donated it to the city. It was first placed in the courtyard of Palazzo Forti, then moved to the courtyard of Casa di Giulietta in 1972. The right breast and forearm are polished bright by visitors touching the statue.

The statue marks the courtyard of Casa di Giulietta, the house the city presents as the Capuleti family's home. Visitors rub the right breast of the bronze, worn to a bright golden tone, for luck in love, and many leave notes and letters on the wall beside it. Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet in Verona but never lived there; the city itself was his model, not his birthplace.

Located at Casa di Giulietta on Via Cappello 23, the statue can be accessed during regular visiting hours with guided tour options and special events available through the dedicated website.

Copies of the Juliet statue are situated in international cities such as Munich, San Francisco, Chicago, and Bangkok, highlighting the widespread recognition of this romantic symbol worldwide.
