Verona

Conquered by some, borrowed by others:  Romans and popes and poets and warring families.

About Love

Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where evil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star cross' d lovers take their life
Whose misadventures piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

Romeo and Juliet
--Shakespeare




About Hell

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

The Divine Comedy
--Dante

About The Artful Dodger

We were told to always be alert for pick pockets and selfie stick vendors, and here was one (?!) with his hand out waiting for coins. Apparently these sorts come in all manner of disguises. And he followed us everywhere!
