No. The story of Romeo and Juliet is an old one and one which was frequently retold. Its earliest telling in its current form was by Luigi da Porta in 1530, who blended an earlier story of Mariotta and Gianozza with Pyramus and Thisbe from Ovid's Metamorphoses, renamed the lovers and set the story in Verona. He then claimed that the story was a true story, which it clearly isn't.
