KEATS AND SHELLEY IN PIAZZA DI SPAGNA

Piazza di Spagna has been a compulsory stop for tourists ever since the 18th century, when a number of poets and musicians stayed nearby. The small pink house at the bottom of the Spanish steps is now a Memorial House crammed with manuscripts and belongings of Keats and Shelley. If tea is your crave, try Babington's tea rooms on the Piazza. Do not miss Café Greco in via Condotti, whose clients included Casanova and King Ludwig of Bavaria.

  1. First of all, I don’t like a lot the poetry, but this museum seems really interesting for visiting if I go to Rome. I think that it is a good opportunity for knowing a little bit more of the romantic British poets.
