The city was Verona, Italy. The families were The capulets ( Juliet) and Montague ( Romeo). The original story was written by luigi deporta, a local of Verona. Shakespeare just stole the idea.

The two feuding families are the Montagues and Capulets. Romeo and Benvolio are Montagues. Juliet and Tybalt are Capulets.
