Oyez! Oyez! Hear ye! Hear ye! Listen to my story! I, Lorenzo Lindsay, aged 48 years, have come from the town of Verona to share with you the news of the time and my knowledge. I am old, and my hair has begun to gray, I am of short stature and am fairly plump in the waist. My meals are bountiful and filling, and I am often given food in exchange for additional information. I am short-tempered, talkative, and very opinionated, and rarely enjoy the company of the illiterate. I have come to educate the masses who are unable to educate themselves, and are illiterate in nature. I share news of sickness and health, of victories and defeats, and of births and executions. I announce the news on the door of the local inn for all to see. I serve as a spokesman for the king, and my loyalty resides with the monarch of our great nation. For this reason, I know all of the business of my town; however, I do not offer my own views on the matters of the day. I am able to read the King's official proclamations, and I do so as my wife stands beside me and rings a bell to sound an audience. We make a very decent living, and are able to easily provide for my four children, Giovanni, Isabella, Caterina, and Piero, and my children's children. My dress resembles that of the mayor, and shows the colors of my town and where I reside. God Save the Queen!

Hello All! I respond to the name Alessandra de Luca. I took my first breath on this earth 19 years ago and have recently become the Grand Duchess of Verona with my marriage to the Grand Duke, Francesco de Luca four months ago. I am also expecting a child in the next six months; therefore my husband is making a large effort to make sure I eat more. (I have no problem; the dishes are all so delicious and savory!) It is all so very exciting! I can be described as slender, having dark curly hair and eyes, and skin that has a slight tinge of color. My husband is much taller than I am, so I assume that my height is not one of my strengths. Day to day, I do not do much at the moment, but I do aid my husband in taking care of his mail, similar to a secretary of sorts. I also enjoy participating in holy activities, as I grew up around the influence of God and his holy church. I am amiable, outgoing, cheerful and talkative with several of the citizens in Verona, as I do not believe in shunning others because of their status in society. It is true that I am very much more educated than most women are, but that is because I have been preparing for my marriage to Francesco for a great deal of my life. Francesco and I are well off financially, and I hope it stays that way. I have seen many families go to ruin because of risky deals. I tend to wear colorful dresses with satin draping on a daily basis, in bright colors such as red, blue, and orange. Let us hope that this life I am living remains this way in the future!

Ciao, my name is Fabio Lanzoni (after the male goddess of course). I am thirty six years old and I am a butler. I serve food to my household, answer the door, etc. I wouldn't call my job very entertaining and I wouldn't say that my economic status is very high, but I do get a roof over my head and meals to eat! I am five foot eleven and have short, neatly trimmed, brown hair with a classy pencil mustache to accentuate my handsome features. If you see me, you'll notice that I am tall, skinny, and extremely handsome. Also, you'll notice that I look serious, polite and calm most of the time as I like to blend in with my surroundings and that I always wear a fancy, black tuxedo. I eat alone because it is forbidden for me to eat with the family I serve. Lastly, I haven't had much education.

Hello, my name is Jane and i am 27 years old. My reading, writing, and comprehension skill have enabled me to achieve the status of a scribe. This job of writing volumes, and researching laws and matters gives me a high economic status. Although my wage is standard, I am seem as wealthy due to the amount of education I have received, and the fact that I am entitled to all benifits and luxuries of the castle. I am not very tall and I am a bit overweight. During this time it is a sign of wealth to be overweight, because it shows that you can afford to eat well. I have long brown hair and blue eyes. I am a very patient person, because my occupation requires immense amounts of concentration and time to complete my tasks. also i am very social, because i also read to be able to talk to people to record data. I wear darker colors to show off embroidering and jewels in my clothing. At home I act as a housewife, and a good mother. I obey my husband and am very hardworking.

Ever since i dropped out of the University, I have found that my talent does not lie in writing or mathematics but instead making people laugh and smile. I enjoy the many benefits of being a Jester. I am the only person in society that has complete freedom, of speech. I can freely say whatever I want about politics, society, or many other highly controversial aspect of life. I also enjoy living in the royal house and eating the food with royalty. Over the years i have actually become very good friends with my master. We joke with each other and I entertain his guests. I do not mind wearing bright clothes and odd hats and costumes or being seen as a fool. It is a good way to make a living and i am happy when i make others happy. I am the typical jester in size. I am only 4' 6" and a mere 75 pounds. Most jesters are small and skinny. Most people find me to be humorous, witty, and free speaking. My voice is a little higher than most men but that mostly has to do with my size. People find it funny that I have a high voice which I am fine with. I think of my self as fun and funny. Being a Jester may not be the most manly job, but I enjoy it and love making others laugh.

ReplyDeleteCiao a tutti, My name is Angelo, I am 25 years old. I am a baker in the town of Verona. My daily job activities consist of baking bread and selling it to the towns people I am the middle class, I don’t make too much or too little. I am 5 foot 9 inches and 170 pounds. I have short brown hair and big blue eyes. I try to be as friendly as possible but some of my customers are so snobby and rich. I am busy because my store is always crowded but I am attentive. I'm also hard working because my customers are some of the richest people in town, they love my bread and I do my best to keep a good reputation with them. I try not to be too talkative considering I need to stay on task, otherwise i'd have to cheat my customers out of bread and money like a lot of other bakers have to do. I would say that I am calm for the most part. I am not as skinny as most people, I eat a lot of bread, ironic! But I am a healthy weight. I have a natural face with small features. My tunic is homespun by my wife and I generally wear a shirt or vest made of cotton. My shoes are leather. I wear an apron on top of this to protect me from the flour. My home isn't as big as everyone else's but it is average. It is usually cold and damp inside and can tend to get dark. We have few windows which must be small openings with wooden shutters for security purposes. I have a wife and life most people, I married at the age of 19. We have 2 babies. One is 3 and the other is 1. I do everything I can to provide for them.
ReplyDeleteConsidering bread is the most important component of a diet and it is easily accessible we eat a lot of that. We are lucky enough that we can eat Manchet, which is what the upper classes eat. Although I haven't much education, my father was also a baker and I assisted him as a child. I learned the business and quickly took over. I generally like to stay neutral for the sake of my business. I sell bread to the Capulet chefs but other than that I don't come into contact with them too often..

Attention, Attention! My name is Francesco Dattero, the town crier in Verona, Italy. I am 35 years of age and have been working at my job for some ten years. Although I am employed by the government to tell the people of Verona all important news, I am also the person to go to whenever you need a little dirt on your neighbors. I know everything that happens in this town. If you do something that you don't want anyone to know about, rest assured. Everyone will know about it already.
ReplyDeleteSince I am employed by the government, I would consider myself wealthy. Just look at me! At 5'7" I am already 160 pounds! Although most think of me as nosey and conceded, I would like to think of myself as outgoing, talkative and energetic. Sure I am a little plump and always well-dressed. I just like to show off my success in a flashy, expensive and over-eccentric way!
A have a very satisfying family life with my wife and two boys, Antonio and Angelo. I hope that they will follow my footsteps into a job that will always put a lot of food on the table. We normally have three courses a night, always including some type of meat and dessert!
As a man of class and appreciation for education, a can happily say that I attended a University and have been taught the wonderful ways of literature. I cannot tolerate the illiterate! The fact that these peasants can possibly go through life without being able to read a simple sign is almost barbaric.
As for expressing my personal opinions on my work, I tend to stay neutral. I want people gossiping on the matter that I have told them, not on my opinion. This is why I am taking a neutral position in this heated Romeo and Juliet debate. I would much rather watch from a distance and tell what I see.

ReplyDeleteHear ye! My name is Milania Salici; 23 years of age. ALthough usually unlikely, I have been newly hired by the King as the Town Crier in which provides me with information about various families in the town. For the most part, I rarely deliver good news to a front door. I enjoy the scandals of the Montague family very much. It is very likely for one of the Montague sons to get into mischeif, especially Romeo. As I travel throughout town, door to door, delivering news, my husband, Albino, follows along with the gold bell. I provide more than enough for my husband and I. We live comfortably in our home and carry ourselves properly. Being that I'm hired by the king, I am a part of the upper class in Verona. I am average weight of a woman, 115 pounds, slim and poised. I have grown up as a petite woman at 5'1". You will recognize my blue eyes which contrat my very dark hair, which draws me apart from the typical italian folks I spend time with. I've become timid, yet opionated and sympathetic. I tend to be quiet, yet talkative when comfortable. I am known for being petite and being blessed for unique traits. As a town crier, I am provided with wealthy clothing in which I would be presented in a proper manner. My home is comfortable and exquisite for Albino and I. As we try to build a family, we would like to expand our home. Because my family grew up with the Capulets, I've become an acquaintance of the family. We likely have dinner together and sometimes meet in the tow square.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! My name is Daniela and I have taken the job as secretary for the Montages. I am just 18 and my daily routine is to answer phones. Thats a good job though, because I am viewed in the middle class. It's not the upper class of course, but ill settle for it. I went to the university and was then found by Romeo's dad who liked my talkative, explosive personality, but was sceptical. He wasnt sure if I was able to answer his phone calls. But I showed him I was, when he saw how calm and collected I could be at work. Then I was hired! Of course I couldnt bring my mother, father and brother with me to work, so they were left behind. Theyre still happy for me though. Anyway, I think Romeo's father was very impressed with the way I dressed on the first day. I am a girl with dark brown wavy hair, no taller than 5'5 and no more than 130 pounds. To work on the first day I put on the fanciest dress I had. Maybe thats why they feed me so well. I always get 3 course meals with them, which is so nice of them. Theyre a very nice family. I hope they like me, and I hope they like the medium- fast tempo of my voice. I wouldnt want them to get annoyed, or think I speak to fast, but all is well for now. 'Till next time.

I serve as a carpenter in my community, for those who sadly don't know what that is, I am one who produces homes, wagons, tables, furniture, tools and utensils. It is, I can defintely admit a fairly difficult occupation, but it's defintely worth it regarding the fact that I get a fairly high wage! I love putting others before myself, creating things, using my hands creatively for a good cause! If one were to observe me I would say, I weigh 117 pounds, I have hazle eyes with dark long brown gorgeous wavy hair. When describing my personality, I would say I'm humorous, very loud, some may sensitive, I have a extremely short temper, meaning don't get bad side! I can come out to be aggresive if you push my buttons and totally talkative if you haven't already told! I'm down to earth, I'm comical, extremely respectful, always put others before myself, caring, creative, and enthuastic. I can be moody sometimes, which I don't mean too! Just happens! Now to describe me physically! Well.. ! I'm fit, totally not being cocky, being so serious! According to guys, I'm beautiful, even to Shakespeare's best friend, he told me so himself! I'm tall, but not giant tall! Well since I'm writing this you might wonder how I sound no? Well !

ReplyDeleteHear ye, Hear ye! My name is Alice Franco, the town crier in Trento, Italy. I am 30 years old and have been working at my job for some twelve years. I was hired by the King as the Town Crier, to tell the people of Trento important news going on. Also I am the person to get the latest drama from because I no everything that is going on. You can say that in wealthy because I am hired by the government. I am 5’9, 130 pounds; I have brown hair and brown eyes. I’m am known for being nosey, loud and conceded. I would consider myself talkative, active, humorous, and energetic. I am provided with wealthy clothing and I show it off. I have a very loving family, with my husband who is a lawyer and my 3 kids; Cristiana, Alisa, and Bianca. If my kids had this job or my husband’s job it would be great because then they wouldn’t have to worry about having food on their table, knowing what to wear every day, etc. Since I am a woman in the Elizabethan Era the Church provided and controlled the education system, we are taught to read and write and at the same time we had to have knowledge of the bible. As for my personal opinions on my work, I try to stay not take sides. I want people to talk about the news I’m telling them not my thoughts, and my feelings on it.
ReplyDeleteCiao, my name is Gemma Guadagnino and I am the Dutchess of the beautiful city of Verona. I was born 20 years ago and became the Dutchess after my marrying the handsome Duke, Duke Vincenzo Guadagnino. As most may think, a Dutchess must be beautiful, and not to be conceited but this had been said many times before. The people such as the Duke, compliment me on my long, dark brown, curly locks, my golden brown skin, and my big brown eyes. Although I am fairly lanky, I do enjoy a meal or two. The cook makes wonderful and scrumptious dishes for all of us to enjoy. I am very nice to people whether they are of high society like Vincenzo and I or a peasant. I care for everyone and most say I am talkative while conversing with anyone. Due to having plenty of money, I wear bright colored dresses and drapes of satin or silk. In order to become a Dutchess it is a necessity to have a variety of knowledge from a proper education. Compared to most women in Verona, I am more educated because I was preparing myself for Vincenzo. I adore my husband and love looking after him. If I was to give myself a title for what I do for him it would be an assistant. If I am not helping my wonderful husband I enjoy activities within the church. I have grown to love my life the way it is. Hopefully it will be the same for many years to come.

Hello! My name is Carlo Florio, and I am a 25 year old jester in Elizabethan England. I am supposed to enlighten the mood and make people laugh, to make society a happier place. My wardrobe consists of happy, playful colors and costumes that would somewhat resemble me as a "clown. I will do anything to make people be happy even if it means to wear this jingly annoying hat all day on my head. I am a fairly wealthy man but am lucky because I am associated with very important people in our society like nobles. I eat well and am educated enough to know how to read and write and live a educational life. I find my job new everyday because you have to make up acts on the spot to make a group of people laugh at any given moment. I am an average sized man, weighing 160 and am 5-7. I talk extremely fast and sometimes I get so carried away I need to slow myself down. This is how I live my life as a Jester

Physically, my apperance I must say is rather stunning if I do say so myself. I hve a toned figure, a tall stucture and enchanting grace. Most of my fellow jesters think I am much of a humorous gal! If you ever see me in our group, I am the loud, dancing, energetic one! We all look the same in our belled hat and shoes, diamond patterned stockings,color blocked ensamble. My friends are my family and we stay as a group in the castle. If we were lucky we would get meat for food but we usually just ate bread and vegetables. We dont even have an education!!! DO you think that's sad? I would have wanted one!

Ciao a tutti! I humbly introduce myself as Viviana Baker, though by most I’m known simply as Vivi. By my name you can assume I’m a baker, and that assumption would be correct. I’m a 21 year old maiden yet to be married and still live with my family. Though, we are small we make a great profit from our respectable job so our economic status is quite fair compared to others. I’m often hired from a noble family to come cook meals for them and because of my calm and kindhearted personality I have many loyal customers. Often people say that my baked goods can be just as sweet as my character. I’m a petite woman with long chocolate hair which I usually pull back into a bun or fashion it into a braid just mostly for conveniences sake. My eyes are a contrasting jade green and because of my height, I don't weigh much. Most find me humorous and my comments witty, while others view me as flirtatious, though I would have to disagree with that. I’m most often compared to a cat because of my silence and some have gone as far as to say that voice sounds like that of a purring cat’s. I try not to make any dramatic movements, just small gestures so as not to appear flamboyant. My attire is quite simple, just a plain dress with an apron because, after all being a baker requires a lot of flour and getting it on clothing is a hassle to get off. As stated before I still reside with my father and mother and I’m quite content in our little stone house. In this dwelling is where I first watched my father bake bread and from him I learned the skill to become a baker. Though I’ve never really gotten a formal education, I learned all that I need from my own papa. Due to my mother’s illness I am the one to prepare meals at home which consist of some kind of stew, of course a side of bread, and beer though I find the taste bitter so I mostly stick to sweet wine. And with that I bid you addio.
ReplyDeleteHello there, my name is Adriana Goldstein being 19 years of age. I am the Duchess of the magnificent city known as Verona. The most recent spring I was married to the handsome Duke Lorenzo and that is how I became the Duchess. I feel that it is such an honor to be considered highest in society under the powerful Queen Elizabeth. My family is looked upon with much respect from everyone for our power in the city. This has granted me with many advantages like money and of course the magnificent feasts I can enjoy daily. I never liked to eat extreme amounts but with all that's given to me I have no choice! It's so delicious! Despite the wonderful job done by the family cook I manage to maintain my weight. Not to sound conceited at all, but many people compliment me on my looks saying that I am beautiful, charming and, well I can go on and on... I certainly can agree considering my tall, slim figure along with my long dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. Even along with my gorgeous looks, I am intelligent, funny and an outgoing person overall. I would go outside more but my mother says the whiter you are the healthier and richer you look so my skin has a slight tint of color. I may seem quiet at first but I love to sing and am fantastic at it. My slim figure proves great for the clothing I must wear for the events I attend. All of the intricate clothes are lovely to wear. I give my clothes to my younger sisters when I have outgrown them. Too bad my brother doesn't get anything from me. I am the eldest and he is the only son. As the eldest, I received some education, plenty more than most women and girls get nowadays. I enjoy living out my life day to day assisting my husband fulfill his duties as well be my beautiful self. Until next time, ciao.

My name is Caterina Petriello and I am 18 years old. I am very tall for my age but I have a small figure. I have blonde hair and bright green eyes. I would consider myself very shy but I do respect others and act the way a good human being should act toward others. I would rather not talk about myself and be sociable because it isn't who I am. I work as a maid in the town of Verona, Italy. I clean the house for the Montague family and they are very wealthy. My job is to basically wash the floors, do the dishes, clean up after the kids, to make sure the house stays in order and the basics of keeping a house clean. I don't make a lot of money but I do it to keep myself busy and to take care of other people that need help. I always put others before myself because I don't see myself being a selfish person. I am a very passive and quiet person but I have good intentions of helping people to my best ability. I am a person that doesn't really care about how I look to others. I am a very casual girl that has natural beauty so I don't try to make myself look better than I really am. Family is very important to me in my life. They are the reason for why I am a good person with good intentions. I have gotten some education in the past but I dropped out when I was 12 so I can help my family. I might not have a lot of money but all I care about is that I have a roof on top of my head and that I get food on the table for me every day.
ReplyDeleteI am called Lorenzo Tedescosson. I have aged 43 years and married Simona at the age of 16. I own the inn called The Crossed Keys. Mr. Capulet often spends an evenings at the pub nowadays. He mumbles things about his daughter, Juliet. Day to day, I get up and help serve breakfast for the guests. Between meals, I order around two boys who work for me. There are many small chores to do around the inn. Mine wife and I are not very well set, economically. If the inn is not full all the time, we have to make sacrifices. I am quite short, with a husky build. My full head of dark hair is starting to recede at the hairline. My eyes are dark as well. If I were to describe my self in a few words, I'd be short, stocky, and compact. I am quiet around strangers, not cold, but I keep to my business. However when surrounded by friends and family, I am very talkative. Quiet and kind, but sometimes boisterous. I talk quite fast, with a moderate tone and many gestures. Because mine wife and I are poor, we cannot afford much of the finer material clothes. But Serena always manages to keep our neutral coloured cotton clothes clean, stainless, and wrinkle-free. I eat the home cooked meals my wife cooks for the guests on my breaks. We live on the third floor of the inn, a sitting room and a bedroom. I went to grammar school when I was young so as not to be fooled when I took up the family business. I am literate and was taught arithmetic. I sympathize with Mr. Capulet. She wasted her life over naught but a boy. Why rush into marriage with a family feud member, when you can wait a few years and get married to a suitable match that the father approves of?

Hello, my name is Melania and am 14 years old. My family and I live on our land just outside of the city. Everyday I walk to work with my friend Alessa. We both work inside our dear friend Juliet's home as her maids. My daily work activity consists of waking Juliet when I arrive, dressing her in her fancy gowns and clean her room. Alessa also helps me to dress her and clean the room but most of our chores are done separately. I am not very wealthy but I do not belong to the poorest family. My family is working class and always will be, but we don't really mind. My look is very classic. I am five foot five inches in height and I weigh one hundred and fifteen pounds. My hair is light brown, long and straight and I have green eys. I am very calm and passive where as Juliet and Alessa is the total opposite. They are very talkative and loud, which is why we are such great friends. If I were to describe myself in three words they would have to be nice, quiet and pretty. My clothing is never elaborate or fancy, normally just a cleaning dress. After a long days work I return home to my cottage with dinner waiting. It is never anything grand, just average meal that consists of a protein and a vegetable from our farm. I barely have any education, I just know how to read and write. This is because I have been working for most of my life. I don't have many plans for my future. Maybe to get married and have children. But for now I am just going to stick to my friendship with Juliet and Alessa!

I am known in the town of Verona as Roberto Ricci. I am 28 years of age and was born on the 16th of November. Due to me living in the town of Verona I was raised into a primarily Roman Catholic family. I am one of the small landowners that have property on the Montague’s premises. The typical landowner has a simple lifestyle but a large amount of wealth. Typically, a small land owner oversees the working serfs or peasants as they package and harvest crops. They divided the acquired wealth after a harvest and divide it upon the workers and him. Despite having to divide the money, a land owner would normally obtain a larger portion of the money. Landowners may also purchase more land from the rulers or leaders in return for money and loyalty. I am in an excellent economic status due obtaining large amounts of money after harvest and then giving workers little to none for their work. A small landowner such as me is possibly at the highest social class out of the common people, other than nobles, royalty, and their advisors. People consider me one of the most trusted white males in the community and I hold a position on the town council. I am six foot four inches and weigh approximately two hundred and fourteen pounds. I have light brown wavy hair and dark brown eyes. My personality can be viewed as trustful but very greedy when it comes to wages and money. However I am also a responsible and caring father that treats his family before anything else. I am a moody person and also talkative wit close friends or family. That leads me into getting into several fights and dilemmas with family. With strangers I am usually quiet and considerate towards diverse people. Physically I am a bearded chubby fellow that has large amounts of upper body strength from working my entire life. I am a very talkative person that often interacts with people using hand gestures because it is hard to comprehend me. People do not comprehend me due to me talking very fast and stuttering. My dress code is widespread and diverse because I have formal clothing for elegant affairs and public gatherings. However I usually wear slacks and working cloths due to wandering in the fields and other terrain. I have had two wives and eleven children throughout my lifetime. I married at 14 and had six children. My wife than suffered a nervous breakdown due to the temperature and died. I remarried at 21 at had five more children. Often had a large breakfast and supper due to having wealth. I can afford meat but I dislike spending money frivolously so we often eat lean meats or poultry and grains grown on the land. I wasn’t well educated but I am not illiterate. I can read and write to certain level and create important statements for the town council. However, I only received three years of basic Latin and grammar education. Usually, I attempt to remain neutral when the Montague’s and Capulet’s have arguments. However, I usually favor on the Montague’s side because they granted me reasonable amounts of land to make a living off of. This angers the Capulet’s making me have to prepare myself for crime, mischief, or possible even war.
