The Keats-Shelley House is a museum dedicated to the second generation English romantic poets who lived in, and were inspired by, Italy, and housed in the final home of John Keats, who died there in 1821. The House is close to the place where Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley stayed in 1819, and directly in front of the building where Lord Byron stayed in 1817.
