Keat's House in Rome


Was really thrilled to visit Keat's house in Rome. Byron and Shelley had also stayed there at some point. And I heard that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was actually a result of a competition among them to write the scariest story. So incredible to be there, see the library and the view from the window and try and imagine the lives of these writers so many years ago.

Keat's Bedroom (he actually died here)

The library 

View from his window, would have been quite different while he lived.

Me feeling incredibly excited to be there.
