L'edificio, risalente al XIII sec., fu a lungo proprietà della famiglia Cappello, il cui stemma è scolpito sull’arco interno del cortile. L’identificazione dei Cappello con i Capuleti ha dato origine alla convinzione che lì sorgesse la casa di Giulietta, eroina della tragedia di Shakespeare.

The building, dating back to the XIII century, was the Cappello family’s property for a long time, whose coat of arms is carved in the inner yard arch. The identification of the Cappellos with the Capulets gave birth to the idea that there stood the House of Juliet, Shakespeare’s tragic heroine.
This medieval dwelling, picturesquelly restored by Antonio Avena around the mid ‘30s, was allocated for temporary exhibitions in the recent past. The building has a beautiful internal open-brick façade, a gothic styleed portal, trilobated windows, an external balustrade linking the different bodies of the house, and the celebrated balcony.
In the courtyard there is the bronze statue of Juliet by the sculptor Nereo Costantini.
