Production Riccardo Freda maintained that it was himself who had the idea to adapt ''Romeo and Juliet'', having been an admirer of William Shakespeare since his youth and that he convinced Goffredo Lombardo who had gone bankrupt after the production of ''Sodom and Gomorrah'' to create the production company Imprecine and set up a co-production deal with Spain for this film and '' Genoveffa di Brabante''.
