About Us
read moreFounded in 1903, and based in London, we are the charity that supports the Keats-Shelley House in Rome, where the English poet John Keats died in 1821. We purchased the House in 1906. Over the past century, we have transformed the first-floor apartment into a museum and library dedicated to the Romantic writers, above all those - Keats, PB and Mary Shelley, Lord Byron - with strong attachments to Italy. We are also responsible for maintaining the graves of Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Joseph Severn and Edward Trelawny in the non-Catholic Cemetery at Testaccio.
