    On this spot a fictional couple had an evening tryst, foreshadowing their tragic end by dagger and poison, while much later a real couple did a deed never done before on the same supposed spot. What was the deed?

    "Luca Ceccarelli, and his 24-year-old bride Irene Lanforti, were the first couple to proclaim vows of eternal love on the world's most romantic of balconies in the small palace in the center of Verona, reputed to be the site where Shakespeare's famous lovers Romeo and Juliet wooed one another some centuries ago."

    Correct.

    "A modern-day Romeo finally got his girl when the northern Italian city of Verona opened up the balcony where Juliet supposedly pined for her lover as a venue for weddings.
    The 13th century mansion of the Cappello family - believed to be the Capulets of William Shakespeare's tragic play Romeo and Juliet - has for years been a place of pilgrimage for lovers worldwide, who have scrawled love messages on its walls...The first Romeo to take advantage of the offer was soccer player star Luca Ceccarelli, who plays for local team Verona."
