Summary, etc: Richard Paul Roe spent more than 20 years travelling in Italy to seek out and document the locations in which Shakespeare set his Italian plays. Using as his compass only the exact lines spoken by characters in each play, Roe succeeded in pinpointing the location of nearly every scene in 'Romeo and Juliet' and others.
