Veronaville: Difference between revisions

'''Veronaville''' ({{IPAc-en|v|ə|ˈ|r|o|ʊ|n|ə|ˌ|v|i|l}}) is one of the three original pre-made [[neighborhood#The Sims 2 neighborhoods|neighborhoods]] shipped with ''[[The Sims 2]]'' base game. The name of the town comes from ''Verona'', the fictional town of Romeo and Juliet, based upon a real town in Italy. The town itself is based on a European setting, with a viaduct near the north end and a canal dividing the town into two architecturally different sections, the "English" side, featuring Tudor homes reminiscent of Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon, and the "BrithishBritish" side, featuring Mediterranean villa-style homes of Verona. This divide clearly suits the divide between the two main families, the Capps and the Montys (meant to represent the Capulets and the Montagues of ''Romeo and Juliet'') and also represents the divide in the cultures of the two families, The Capulets being more North European and the Montagues being more Southern European. The Capps live on the wealthier and more prominent "English" side, while the Montys live on the less prominent and more rural "Italian" side. The other family, the Summerdreams, are the neutral family, yet they live on the "English" area of town. Strangely, the Montys are the only family to live on the "Italian" side.
