No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.
The person that wrote Romeo and Juliet is William Shakespeare.
William Shakespeare wrote the play Romeo and Juliet around 1595, and it was first published in 1597.
Romeo is a young nobleman from the house of Montague in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." He is initially in love with Rosaline but later falls deeply in love with Juliet, a member of the rival Capulet family. Throughout the play, Romeo's activities revolve around his relationships with Juliet, his friends, and his actions driven by love and loyalty.

If you mean when was it first performed, we don't know exactly but probably sometime around 1595.
No, Shakespeare is not known ever to have travelled out of England, although he might possibly have done. His early life was in and around Stratford-on-Avon, most of his life writing and performing drama was in London. In any case, he didn't have to go to Italy to get the tale of Romeo and Juliet since it was readily available in England in Arthur Brooke's English poem Romeus and Juliet (which is exactly where Shakespeare did get it).
In the 1590s, probably around 1594 or 1595.1594-1596
