This setting is one of the most picturesque and lively in the city of Rome, reflecting the baroque extravagance shared by the Globe Theatre's interior.

Rome is crucial setting for many of Shakespeare's plays because of its classical status.Photo: Arpingstone, courtesy of the Yorck Project, under GNU Free Document License.
