Juliette's House in Verona
Nobody said anything about the doors!
Casa Giulietta (Juliette's House) is one of the most popular sights in Verona, Italy. Millions of people come to see where the famously star-struck lover of Romeo lived (Spoiler Alert: she's a fictitious character), and many want to leave a little memory of their visit behind. Modern day residents and businesses share the courtyard where the house is located, and obviously get a little tired of people writing on their walls.

Italy joins the growing list of countries prepared to accept vaccinated travelers
Woohoo, this is my happy dance.
Yesterday Italy added its name to the growing list of countries that will accept travelers from outside the EU, provided they have been fully vaccinated against COVID with an approved vaccine. After a meeting of G20 tourism ministers, Italy's Premier Mario Draghi said that Italy will re-open in the second half of June.
Iceland and Greece are already open. France plans to open from June 9, and Spain announced that they will open "in June", but with no definite date.
Buon compleanno, Roma!
Today is Rome's birthday. According to legend, the Caput Mundi was founded on April 21, 753 BC. The city looks pretty good for being 2774 years old. Auguri!
