Austin, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — The famous balcony that saw star-crossed Juliet fall in love with Romeo welcomed its first-ever wedding Monday when an Italian soccer player wed girlfriend Irene Lanforti.

Luca Ceccarelli, who plays for Hellas Verona and his new wife had the idea to tie the knot in the 14th-century Casa di Giulietta, or House of Juliet,

Verona Mayor Flavio Tosi conducted the ceremony which came about as part of a campaign by Verona to enhance the city’s romantic image.

According to the Assoicated Press “The House of Juliet is one of the top tourist spots in a city that draws about 1.2 million visitors annually. The building belonged to the Cappello family, traditionally identified with the Capulets, leading to the folklore that the model for Shakespeare’s fictional character once lived there.”
