The Keats-Shelley House

The main reason we chose to visit Rome was because of its connections with many of the Romantic writers of the British cannon, specifically John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Located on the steps of the Piazza di Spagna, the Keats-Shelley House is the site where the poet John Keats lived for the last few months of his life before he died of tuberculosis in February of 1821. The bed in the last picture is apparently where Keats was lying when he passed away.
