Verona, Italy- 15th Century

Verona, Italy was the setting of the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Verona is one of the richest cities in northern Italy in Roman remains. It was a town of Renaissance, romance, and ancient monuments. Sites such as the Roman amphitheater, the Bell Tower, and Juliet's balcony are viewed daily by tourists. They say that usually people who visit Verona always visit Juliet's Home or Balcony Verona is a small enough city that you can get around site seeing without taking a bus, or car.

Verona became a Roman possession in 89 BC. Then from 1490 to 1517, the city was in control by Emperor Maximilian I. Verona was conquered by Venice, and remained to the Venetians till the overthrow of the republic by Napoleon in 1797. It was captured by the Goths after the fall of the Roman Empire.

The religion of most of the people who live in Verona is Roman Catholic. It didn't exactly state that was the religion, but I inferred that it was because the text in the website used Cathedrals, and they were Romans.
