∙ 14y agoNone. Shakespeare wrote all of his plays in England.
He did, however SET a number of plays in Italy such as Merchant of Venice (Venice), Taming of the Shrew (Padua), Two Gentlemen of Verona (Verona), Julius Caesar (Rome), Antony and Cleopatra (a number of scenes in Rome), Much Ado About Nothing (Messina), All's Well that Ends Well (partly in Florence), Coriolanus (Rome), Titus Andronicus (Rome), and The Winter's Tale (Sicily). That's ten.
Oh, yeah. Romeo and Juliet (Verona)

∙ 13y agoNo, although a lot of them are set at least partly in Italy. Many of Shakespeare's plays are set in a number of different places. There are twelve plays which have scenes in Italy. Four of these are in ancient Rome (Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Coriolanus and one scene out of Antony and Cleopatra, which is mostly in Egypt). Two are in southern Italy (Much Ado About Nothing and most of The Winter's Tale are in Sicily). The balance are in the North: The Merchant of Venice and the first act of Othello in Venice, The Taming of the Shrew in Padua, Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona in Verona, Acts 3 and 4 of All's Well That Ends Well in Florence.
Where did Shakespeare set most of his plays? In England. All ten history plays are at least partly in England, and King Lear, Cymbeline and The Merry Wives of Windsor are also in England. Macbeth has a scene in England (where Macduff receives news of the murder of his family). Total: fourteen.
