For a bit of Shakespearean flair, you might want to consider getting (re)married in Verona. The city has initiated Marry me in Verona! (Sposami a Verona) to become a bit more attractive. The balcony, where the weddings take place, is part of a 14th century building known as Juliet’s House, which was once the home of the Cappello family.
