Did William Shakespeare travel to Italy to get the tale of Romeo and Juliet?
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).
Where has William Shakespeare traveled to?
We have no reason to believe that Shakespeare ever went anywhere except Stratford and London and the places in between. It is of course possible that he may have travelled during his lost years 1585-1592, but we would have no idea where.
Why did scholars think Shakespeare was a fraud?
No scholars think Shakespeare was a fraud, or ever did. Some fringe theorists think that the scholars are frauds for insisting that the William Shakespeare who wrote all those plays and poetry is the same person as the William Shakespeare who was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, was married, had kids, owned property and died there, and also owned property in London, where he was well known as an actor and member of a theatre company and was close friends with the other members of that company, which happened to be the only company which ever performed the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. These theorists claim that the plays and poetry were really written by someone else who for some reason allowed them to be published under the name of Mr. Shakespeare who, along with most of the London theatre community of the day, were involved in a huge conspiracy to keep this secret. No coherent reason is ever given for why anyone would do that.
How did shakespeare write great stories?
In 1623, almost all of the plays we attribute to Shakespeare were published in a large and lavish book by two former actors in The King's Men, John Heminges and Henry Condell. The book calls Shakespeare the author of the plays and contained testimonials to Shakespeare's skill as a playwright. Many of the plays had already been published and attributed to William Shakespeare earlier. Was this "William Shakespeare" someone's pen-name or was it the name of a real person? Well, one of the founding members of The King's Men was a man called William Shakespeare, who is also listed as an actor in productions of plays put on by them, and was referred to by others, so there was a real person by that name. Nobody ever uses the name of a real person as a pen-name, and especially not the name of a real person who is involved in the same business. (Imagine what would happen if you tried to write a book under the pen-name J.K. Rowling!) This William Shakespeare would seem to be the same person as a William Shakespeare who was born, was married and had children in Stratford-upon-Avon. Court documents suggest that the Stratford Shakespeare had business interests in London, and there is no record of him having business interests in Stratford, although he bought property there with money he got from someplace. There is no evidence of a William Shakespeare who was born at about the same time somewhere else. Most convincingly, the Stratford Shakespeare left property in his will to Heminges and Condell, the two guys who published the plays. There is also a funeral monument in the church in Stratford, erected by the widow of the Stratford Shakespeare, which shows him as a writer and bears a strong resemblance to the guy on the title page of the Folio.
