September 16: Juliet’s Birthday (Italy)

Juliet’s Birthday is celebrated in Verona on September 16, honoring one of literature's most famous heroines from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The holiday features various festivities, including carnivals, costumed performances, concerts, and film screenings, all inspired by the iconic love story. Although Shakespeare suggests Juliet was born on July 31, 1284, based on the Celtic festival of Lammas Eve, Professor Guiseppe Franco Viviani traced her birthday to September 16, as indicated by Luigi Da Porto's earlier work, "Historia novellamente ritrovata di due nobili amanti." The Juliet Club (Club di Giulietta) plays a significant role in the celebrations, receiving thousands of letters from people worldwide who share their love stories or seek advice, with volunteers responding to each letter.
