Romeo and Juliet is not true as Shakespeare wrote it, but he did base it off of a story from Italy. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 or 1561. It is said that that work was based off of a true story, with the young lady that played the supposed inspiration for Juliet's grave being a tourist attraction in Italy.

No, Romeo and Juliet is fiction. However, a true love story that happened was Cleopatra and Mark Antony.

Sorry, Romeo and Juliet were fiction by Shakespeare. I would say the story of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony (although the story of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar is kind of close, it doesn't really compare). Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn were good - up until he had her beheaded.

Marc Antony and Cleopatra is the most famous historical love story, I think.
Romeo and Juliette is all Shakespeare and totally fictional, sorry.

Cleopatra and her two lovers Caesar and Mark Antony.
She was supreme ruler of Egypt, as pharaoh, consummated a liaison with Gaius Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne, and, after Caesar's assassination, aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced twins.
Mark Antony committed suicide, having been told Cleopatra was dead. According to the doctor Olympus (an eye-witness), he was brought to Cleopatra's tomb and died in her arms. A few days later, on 12 August, Cleopatra also died by snakebite in the breast.

Hello dear,
The most famous Real love story of history would have to be that of Sri Radha and Sri Krishna. 5000 years ago They lived and loved in the beautiful forest of Sri Vrindaban, India. Their love story has been adored by millions of Hindus as the most famous and attractive ever. It has been repeatedly described in song, dance, poetry, story, and theater all over India since that ancient time. An entire culture dresses, eats, lives and worships in accordance with it. Millions of temples exist in honor of that love. Now with the advent of film industry, it has also been put on film. The Hare Krishna movement is currently bringing this most famous historical Love story to the awareness of contemporary westerners throughout the world.
Second to this famous Real love story must be that of Sri Sita devi and her beloved Lord, Sri Rama, with Their beloved servant, Sri Hanumanji, who lived thousands of years ago in India; a beautiful, romantic, also tragic story which also has many temples and cultural presentations dedicated to honoring it, both traditional and contemporary. If you want historical real love stories, both these stories are sure to satisfy the desires of your heart...really worth hearing about.
Jaya Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!
