L.W.A. member and penpal of yours truly, Ms. Trisha, sent me a link last year to the Club di Giulietta, or the Juliet Club. It's a Verona, Italy-based organization that answers letters addressed to Shakespeare's tragic heroine, Juliet. They even reward the "Dear Juliet" prize to the "most compelling letters received during the previous year.
"Juliet's secretaries" reply to thousands of letter with questions of love or who just want to "talk". They offer advice, support, and, most of all, a letter in reply!
To write your own letter to Juliet this Valentine's season, you may use the following address:
Via Galileo Galilei, 3 37133 Verona Vérone, Italy
P.S. There's also a movie about this called "Letters to Juliet." I write these posts well ahead of time [i.e. this was typed in March 2010] and I'm kinda miffed that the movie came out before the post did. Oh well, that's what I get for writing things 11 months in advance.
