Verona

Book reference: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Love like Romeo and Juliet and lay your scene in fair Verona. With a history going back to the Romans, a position that made it a prize in European and Italian power struggles, and some of the finest Roman, Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture you’ll find anywhere on the peninsula, when you're wandering Verona's streets on a February evening it might be easy to believe that Romeo and Juliet's tragic love story really took place. Visit 'Juliet's balcony' but don't get too carried away, while it's purported to be the home of one of the feuding Veronese families that inspired Shakespeare's play, and while in the days before Facebook it was common to woo a lady from below her balcony, this is definitely one for the tourists. For a small admission charge you can go into a small museum, and your girl can go out onto the balcony for you to photograph her from below. You could always propose—you wouldn't be the first.
Camaraderie—usually occurring through similarity of pursuits, is unfortunately seldom superadded to love between the sexes, because men and women associate, not in their labours, but in their pleasures merely. Where, however, happy circumstance permits its development, the compounded feeling proves itself to be the only love which is strong as death—that love which many waters cannot quench, nor the floods drown, beside which the passion usually called by the name is evanescent as steam.
