Black Haired Asian Girl On The Balcony
|
The traditional Maltese balcony is a wooden closed balcony projecting from a wall.
By contrast, a 'Juliet balcony' (named after Shakespeare's Juliet, who courted Romeo from her balcony in the play Romeo and Juliet) does not protrude out of the building. It is usually part of an upper floor, with a balustrade only at the front, like a small Loggia. Various types of balcony have been used in depicting this famous scene; however the 'balcony of Juliet' at Villa Capuleti in Verona is not in fact a 'Juliet balcony', as it does indeed protrude from the wall of the villa.
