His main source was Arthur Brooke's poem Romeus and Juliet. But the story was not original to Brooke either; he got it from a French retelling of an Italian story that was based on another Italian story and so on.
It is based on Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.
From Arthur Brooke's poem Romeus and Juliet.
Romeo, the protagonist in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," was said to be born in Verona, Italy. This city is the setting for the tragic love story between Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet is the play- it is by William Shakespeare. If you mean what play is based on Romeo and Juliet, you may be thinking of West Side Story, or loads of other love stories.

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.
Lady Viola goes to America with her new husband. Shakespeare writes the play Twelfth Night about her. Although the plot of Shakespeare in Love is about Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet, and it mirrors Romeo and Juliet in many ways, it is a very different story from Romeo and Juliet. There is no "Lady Viola" in Romeo and Juliet; she is a fictional creation of the writers of the screenplay.
