Tourists looking for luck in love rubbed the right breast of the Juliet statue in Verona so hard that a hole appeared in the statue. An Italian publication writes about this Ansa.
It is believed that such actions bring good luck in love. The original statue, molded by Nereo Costantini in 1972, was placed in the museum in 2014 to protect it from the hands of superstitious tourists. The damaged statue was a copy.
Formerly a judge in Los Angeles decided He dismissed the lawsuit filed by Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, stars of the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, who accused director Franco Zeffirelli and Paramount Pictures of forcing them to appear nude and thereby subjecting them to sexual assault. The players’ attorney plans to re-file the case in federal court.
Previously Bekmambetov’s project “Romeo and Juliet” accepted American Festival Award.
