Juliet statue, Verona, Italy

All tourists do it

1. In early 2014, Verona authorities reported that a bronze statue of Shakespeare's heroine, installed in 1972 in the courtyard of Juliet's House, had cracked. The reason for this was thousands of tourists who bent the hand of the statue and polished her right breast to a shine - after all, according to legend, touching Juliet's bronze breast brings happiness in love.
