John Keats' tombstone. He died on 23 February 1821 and was buried in the Protestant cemetery, Rome, Italy. His last request was to be buried under a tombstone without his name. On his grave is written: This Grave contains all that was Mortal, of a Young English Poet, Who, on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water. 24 February 1821

Protestant Cemetery, Rome

Rome, Italy

Behind the ancient pyramid of Rome, visitors will find the Protestant Cemetery. The entrance is on Via Caio Cestio, a quiet street that leads to a peaceful garden filled with history and stories from the past.

Resting Place of Poets and Writers

The cemetery is known for being the final resting place of several famous writers and poets. In 1821, John Keats was buried here, and his grave has become a place of reflection for many lovers of poetry. Just a year later, after drowning, Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ashes were also brought to this cemetery.

Many years later, in 1882, Richard Dana—famous for writing "Two Years before the Mast"—was also laid to rest among the quiet paths and tall cypress trees. In more recent times, the Beat Generation poet Gregory Corso was buried here in 2001, adding another chapter to the cemetery’s rich literary history.
