Keats House Rome

A delayed post from a visit to Rome in May. Keats house is a subtle tourist destination right next to the spanish steps. The writer died here at the young age of 25 and the house still contains the bed where he passed away. 

Despite being in the heart of central Rome the house is very calm, quiet and cool. A little british sanctuary.

I am tempted to start a blog on simply tourist poses... Surely this is no.1?

Appia Antica . The Appian Way

A pretty perfect day, more like the Loire Valley in France than twenty minutes out of Rome.

A real shame that more wine went in the daisies than in the cups...

I got lost near the MACRO and found all of the above.

The Arc de' Pacis . The Arc de' Pacis

The Arc de' Pacis, is a monument dedicated to Peace, given to Augustus on his return to Rome from France (Gaul) and Spain. The building containing the monument is designed by American Architect Richard Meier (Getty Centre L.A, Museam of Contemporary Art Barcelona) Most Romans dispise the building, with one candiate to be Major proposing to tear down the building if he was elected. Personally I am a fan, but think 'signing' a building is beyond pretenious.
