Romeo and Juliet is a Shakespeare play that was written in the 1590s. He did base the story on real life but the play itself is not a true story. Juliet was a Capulet and Romeo was a Montagu. Juliet's balcony that can be seen in Verona is the home of the real Capuleti family that the play was based on. Romeo's family is said to have lived in Casa Montecchi which is nearby in Verona, but was not restored so it is not well preserved and therefore less of a tourist attraction.

Yes but this was not "Shakespeare in Love". Romeo and Juliet was in fact based on the life of two real lovers who both died for each other and lived in Verona, Italy in 1303. Both the Capulets and Montagues existed in Verona at this time and Shakespeare is reckoned to have discovered this tragic love story in Arthur Brooke's 1562 poem entitled "The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet" .

i found this on shakespear faq but it dose not say who their parents are..
