Keats-Shelley House

Lovers of romantic poetry will find a small treasure tucked next to the grand staircase on the Piazza di Spagna. Immediately in front of the square's fountain is the Keats-Shelley House, which was once the residence of poet John Keats. Keats came to Rome in 1820 after his doctors had ordered a change in climate to combat his tuberculosis. Unfortunately, the young poet didn't recover from his illness - just one short year later he died at the age of 25. The house was turned into a museum in 1906, dedicated to the works of Keats as well as those of other romantic writers such as Shelley and Lord Byron, who also spent a few years of their lives in the eternal city.
