Fellowes penned the screenplay with the goal of making Shakespeare accessible without dumbing it down. Unlike Luhrmann, who kept the original Elizabethan dialogue but set it in a fictional modern city (Verona Beach), Fellowes and Carlei chose to maintain the original 16th-century Italian setting.

Where the film achieved universal praise was in its high-end production design and cinematography. Unlike adaptations that rely heavily on studio green screens, Carlei insisted on capturing the authentic atmosphere of Italy. Historical Settings Ultimately, the 2013 adaptation stands as a lush,
