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

The families are based on real Italian families called the Capuleti and the Montecchi, who were representative of the struggles in Italy between Guelfs and Ghibellines. The Montecchi were Ghibellines and Veronese, whereas the Capuleti were Guelfs and came from Cremona.
