15 year old, Romeo Montague, was banished from Verona, Italy on Monday 14th February 1594. A member of the prestigious Montague family, the boy now faces exile from Verona due to the death of two teenagers.
Montague’s only son, Romeo, has been banished from Verona after a brawl broke out late Monday afternoon in the town square.

The two families are now fighting for justice against one another, as they both view the other party as the main culprit of the crimes. The Capulets are very distraught over the death of Tybalt. Juliet, Capulet’s only daughter has become very desolate over the loss of her cousin who, sources say, she was very close to. The Capulet family will be holding a funeral service early Friday evening on the eighteenth of February to honour Tybalt’s memory. At Lady Capulet’s request it will be an open funeral in Friar Lawrence’s church so anyone wishing to pay their respects may drop in. While the Montague family has yet to publically comment on the death of Mercutio, it is likely there will be a public service held for him as well. The story and details of what led to this tragedy are still developing and we at the Verona Times will continue to keep you up to date as we find out
