Today we took a very long walk and visited many of the less touristy sites. My favorite of all of our adventures was to the graveyard that house Shelley and Keats. The cemetary is only for those who are non-Catholic and not native to Rome. The graves were beautiful-so I have some pictures for you to look at.
The first is of Keat's grave.
Second a plaque dedicated to Keats.
Third is Keat's headstone.
Then come Shelley's headstone.
Last the writing on Shelley's headstone.
There is such an appeal to Rome that people want to be buried here so that in some way they will always be a part of Rome. Keats chose this path as well as many of those burried in the cemetary for foreigners.
