When I visited the house, the Spanish Steps were packed with tourists but inside the house it was so peaceful and almost empty of visitors.I was able to stand alone in the bedroom where Keats died and recite the first verse of 'La Belle Dame sans Merci' out loud. It was a very moving moment as it was one of my late mother's favourite poems.I also visited Keats and Shelley's graves in the Protestant Cemetery, which was also a wonderful experience.
I loved this video and presentation. I'm an English teacher and I'm going to visit Keats House in March with my sixteen and seventeen students in March. It will be my first visit and I'm looking forward to it, as I'm sure it will contribute a lot to their understanding of Romanticism, which is part of this year programme.
Nice to see the same Shelley poster on the wall that I bought in 1987 when I was 22. It spent decades on the walls and doors of various rooms in Melbourne, Australia after that. I still have it, though a bit tattered. My next visit to Rome and the Keats-Shelley house was two years ago, at the age of 54. A small, timeless oasis to return to. It's not as if Keats, Shelley and Byron are getting any older than they were in the 80s! "The One remains, the many change and pass; Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly; Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments."
Is Giuseppe Albano still the Curator of the Keats-Shelley Museum? I only was in Italy when a boy of 12 so obviously I knew nothing of the English Romantic Poets. That all changed very drammatically for me as I studied French, Italian, Spanish and English as an Under-Graduate doing all my Graduate Studies in French Literature of the 17the Century. However, I have taught English as a side-line at a Jewish Private School and the English Romantic Poets not to speak of the novelists and playwrights are always on my curriculum. Hopefully one day I'll be able to go to that sacred house!
Excelent video and narration. I´d like to know is is allowed to take photos in the house, without flash, of course, becuase I´m going to visit Rome next year, and I´m interested in visit the House. Thanks

I was blown away when I visited the house several years ago. Definitely a cornerstone for any poetry pilgrimage. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for preserving their legacy so well and with so much feeling.
Grazie, Giuseppe for the fair respect of the house

Wanderer628 maybe watch the full video before commenting
unfortunately Keats even disappeared from books at high school in Italy
...and what about Mary Shelley? Probably Frankestein was born there...
