Shakespeare spent most of his life with his co-workers in the theatre business. Although he spent a few years, no less than three, with his wife before going to London, and the three years between his retirement and death with her as well, the six to nine years he spent with her do not compare to the twenty-three years and more that he spent in London with no company except his fellow actors. By the end of that time, they must have seemed to be like his real family.

Richard Roe in his landmark book, "The Shakespeare Guide to Italy: Retracing the Bard's Unknown Travels" (2011) spent some 20 years in Italy following the trail left in the works of Shakespeare, and he was able to demonstrate unequivocally that whoever wrote the works of Shakepseare travelled extensively in Italy. Some traditional scholars have been left flatfooted by his discoveries, since some want to pretend that the writer of Shakespeare never left England.
