Ciao a tutti! Our next review of the miniseries The RomCom Roundtable Goes to Italy is here! Today, we travel to Verona & Siena! The city of Romeo and Juliet. In this episode, we talk about Letters to Juliet. This film is inspired by the real life Secretaries of Juliet (known as the Juliet Club (Club di Giulietta)), which began nearly a century ago. Volunteers are from around the world, responding to letters asking for advice about life and love on behalf of Juliet. Become a Shakespearean Secretary With Juliet Club in Verona  My Day as a Secretary of Juliet, Answering the World’s Love Letters | Vogue Letters to Juliet stars Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, and Franco Nero. While on a pre-wedding holiday to Verona and Siena, Sophie (played by Seyfried) responds to a letter written 50 years ago, asking for advice about love. Claire (played by Redgrave) receives a response to her letter and travels to Italy with her grandson (played by Egan). Together they travel throughout Siena to find Lorenzo (played by Nero).  The film was directed by Gary Winick, who also directed 13 Going on 30 (check out our episode for a review of that film as well!). Letters to Juliet is available for rent or purchase streaming. Check out your local library to borrow the film as well. Check out your local bookshop or library to read the book by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman that is referenced in this episode and includes the letter read in the cold open: Letters to Juliet: Celebrating Shakespeare's Greatest Heroine, the Magical City of Verona and the Power of Love. Enjoy the episode!
