History
“The bust of William Shakespeare was made in 2003, bought by the Club of Juliet and later donated to the city of Verona. In the half length portrait, Shakespeare is portrayed with a grave face, looking at the sky.”
From Comune di Verona
Inscription on plaque: ‘There is no world without Verona walls, / But purgatory, torture, hell itself / Hence banished is banished from the world / And world’s exile is death…’ (R&J III,iii, with Italian translation)
