It's Vicenza

Just to say that it's not Verona but Vicenza.
That marvellous house in the wood is in Montecchio Maggiore, a small town near Vicenza, where the legend says there are the castles of Juliet and Romeo, facing each other (you can see them there, but historically they haven't anything in common with shakespeare's tragedy)
By the way, Shakespeare based his tragedy on a novel written years before by a novelist from Vicenza, Luigi da Porto (inspired by a story which took place in Siena). That novel, revisited and published in 1554 by Matteo Bandello, has been translated in English by Arthur Brooke and read by Shakespeare in 1562.

what her name snaps at a restaurant and starts eating and he forcefully stops her. Then they go home and he burns her clothes because she keeps eating so she wont be able to fit. He then says i gave up everything for u so if u runaway ill go after u because he invested all of his in her time in her. She then hits him over the head with i think a fire pcoker and he starts bleeding and it says he doesnt die and it looks like she goes crazy.
