Last Friday was the opening date for "Letters to Juliet," a movie about a re-finding a lost love. The story is about Sophie, an American who travels to Verona, Italy, the city where the fictional Romeo met Juliet. There, Sophie discovers the house that is purported to be the home of the "real Juliet." There, people leave "letters to Juliet," asking for her advice to the lovelorn. A group of women pick up the letters and write responses.
According to what I can find on the Internet, there is, indeed, such a place in Verona. People really do leave letters there, and "Juliet's secretaries" answer them. There are more details in this USA Today article.
The movie's website has links to a variety of sites and contests, many of which wrap up in the next few days. So, if you're interested in winning a trip to Verona, check them out as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can find out where this movie will be showing nearby.
