Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

“Romeo and Juliet”, re-written by Elisa Mazzoli, edited by Pane e Sale (Rusconi Libri) is my favourite tragedy by William Shakespeare. I loved illustrating it, drawing the characters and finally achieve one of my little dreams.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
