Declarations of love at Juliet's House, Verona

Is this a continental thing? Not just at Juliet's house but on every spare bit of public ironmongery there were padlocks with couple's names on them. Because nothing says 'i love you' like a sharpie and a suitcase padlock, right?

It's supposed to be lucky to touch Juliet's right nork. Did i? [no comment]. In the background is the reputed balcony. There isn't actually any evidence that this is in any way connected to Shakespeare or that Juliet actually existed. Tell it to the padlock crew...

..or the love taggers

...or the chewing gum crew...[chewing gum on wall = "love you forever"?]

You'd be a bit miffed.
