A bronze Juliet Capulet stands inside a small niche in the wall of the Old Town Hall. She holds a single rose, and her right breast is polished to a bright, golden shine by the hands of countless tourists. The statue is a gift from Verona, Munich's sister city, presented in nineteen seventy-four to celebrate their bond. While the play takes place in Italy, the statue became a local fixture where hopeful visitors touch her chest, believing it brings good luck in love.
