Every year, the town of Verona, where the well-known love story Romeo and Juliet took place, receives thousands of letters to Juliet. These letters are written in different languages and sent from all over the world.
The tradition of sending letters to Juliet dates back to centuries ago. At first, people left notes on a local landmark said to be Juliet's tomb(坟墓). Later, they started to send letters to the town.
To deal with these letters, the Juliet Club was set up in 1972.
The staff of the Juliet Club are volunteers who call themselves “Juliet's secretary.” They can be students, couples and even grandmothers. They can read letters in many languages.
These people take their work seriously. They use their own experiences to reply. When there is a letter difficult to reply to, they will discuss it with each other to give the best answer. Thanks to them, every letter is read, translated and answered by hand in the name of Juliet.
The Juliet Club has been dealing with Juliet's letters for more than 40 years. You can read some of the letters on the club's official website. You can also write your own letters. Here is the address:
Club Di Giulietta,
Corso Santa Anastasia 29,
37121 Verona, Italy
