None — Before Dear Abby and Ann Landers there were the Secretaries to Juliet.
Based in Verona Italy – the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - the group's mission is to offer Juliet's powerful guidance by replying to thousands of letters from around the world. They offer advice and support or just listen to those who need to talk about love. While some mail their letters, others go to Verona to post love notes in Juliet's Courtyard.
If you would like to write to the Secretaries to Juliet and receive a reply, make sure to include your return address.
CLUB DI GIULIETTA - THE JULIET CLUB via Galilei 3 - 37100 Verona
The secretaries have been active for three decades, and many of the members have been involved for more than twenty years. Ten men and women make up the volunteer group. More than five thousand letters are sent to the group based in Verona Italy.
Every year, on St. Valentine's Day, the Club awards the Dear Juliet Prize to the most beautiful letter sent to Juliet. Stars like Carla Fracci, Franco Zeffirelli, Giulietta Masina and Andrea Bocelli have taken part to the prize-awarding ceremony in the past editions.
