Letters to Juliet was a SCAM

If you’ve watched the film Letters to Juliet, then you’ll know where I’m getting at here. Imagine watching that movie and deciding you’re going to that exact spot to people watch those who have lost love, lost in love, or just plain old lost only to find out Casa di Giulietta is just a huge tourist attraction.

I DID NOT SEE PEOPLE SOBBING ON THE STREET.

Thus, I declare the film an absolute scam. Well…technically just a tad inaccurate.

This is how you really get a response from one of Juliet’s secretaries, and no– they are not sweet elderly Italian women. Apparently a good amount of the secretaries are remote volunteers since this attraction boomed in popularity once the movie came out.

How to contact Juliet:

  1. Mail
    • If you prefer the traditional method of snail mail, then grab your pen and paper and write away and tell her your story! Address your letter to
      • JULIET CLUB
        Vicolo Santa Cecilia 9, 37121
        Verona – Italy
  2. E-mail
  3. Hand deliver it to Juliet’s Mailbox (pictured above)
    • If you are physically in Verona, might as well just pop a letter into her mailbox located within Casa di Giulietta (23 Via Capello)
Cue picture of pre-glow up 19-year-old Krystal as she is accidentally doomed to die alone

Juliet’s statue

Legend has it if you rub the right breast of the statue, you’ll find your love misfortunes will turn around. And that is why my sister is getting married this summer and I’m just here chillin’. We got our directions mixed up.

My reaction: bruh.

I still can’t believe I went to Verona absolutely convinced I’d have my Sophie moment. Once again: bruh.
