'Go Thou to Rome': The Romantic Poets in Italy and the Keats-Shelley House

Situated at the right foot of the Spanish Steps, just a few steps away from Spagna metro station, the Keats-Shelley House is a museum dedicated to the English Romantic poets, who were spellbound by the Eternal City.
26 Piazza di Spagna is most famous for being the final dwelling place of John Keats, who died here in 1821, aged just 25, and to this day Keats’s bedroom is preserved as a shrine to his tragic story and extraordinary talent.
Displayed through a chain of beautiful rooms, the collection contains a great many treasures and curiosities associated with the lives and works of the Romantic poets, as well as one of the finest libraries of Romantic literature in the world; now numbering more than 8,000 volumes.

What a wonderfulo reminder of 'a spiritual, more liberated humanity' - lacking in some of the events making news here in Melbourne, Australia at the moment. Th8is is indeed food for the soul.

This is so special. And how perfect to open with those gorgeous lines from Keat’s Ode to a Nightingale!

Un rifugio romantico struggente, Peccato che si debba conoscere benissimo l' inglese per poter meglio comprendere, sarebbe come visitare una casa museo di un poeta italiano a Londra ed essere costretti a leggere i testi in lingua originale, mi chiedo quale sia la logica di una scelta così esclusiva.
