Situated at the right foot of the Spanish Steps, just a few steps away from Spagna metro station, the Keats-Shelley House is a museum dedicated to the British Romantic poets, who were spellbound by the Eternal City.

26 Piazza di Spagna is most famous for being the final dwelling place of John Keats, who died here in 1821, aged just 25, and to this day Keats’s bedroom is preserved as a shrine to his tragic story and extraordinary talent. Displayed through a chain of beautiful rooms, the collection contains a great many treasures and curiosities associated with the lives and works of the Romantic poets, as well as one of the finest libraries of Romantic literature in the world; now numbering more than 8,000 volumes. In addition to the exhibition rooms, there are two spacious terraces boasting stunning views, a book and gift shop, and a small cinema room where visitors can watch an exclusive introductory film about the Romantics. Group visits and talks are available by booking, and the rooms of the House and its terrace are also available for private hire by contacting us.

From the palaces of European royalty to the streets of cholera-stricken Naples, Axel Munthe lived an extraordinary life.

A Swedish physician, humanitarian and writer, Munthe’s experiences eventually inspired The Story of San Michele (1929), an international bestseller translated into more than 40 languages.

But did you know that he also lived in the same Roman building where John Keats spent his final months?

This Thursday, join us at The Keats Shelley for The Talented Dr. Munthe, an exploration of his remarkable life with Kristina Kappelin, CEO of Villa San Michele in Capri.

Discover the story of this fascinating doctor and writer in a place that was once part of his own life.

What can poetry make from anger, grief, love — and a world in constant motion?

On Wednesday 14 October, we welcome poet, translator and Action Books editor Johannes Göransson to The Keats Shelley, where he will read from The Adorations.

Written while caring for his autistic son and his dying mother, this fierce and tender collection moves through God, death and childrearing. A mother’s body changes through cancer; a man becomes a bird; a riot convulses society. Yet alongside the violence, there are flowers, style, kissing and spells — moments from which poetry creates its own strange, paradisical language.

Göransson is the author of several poetry collections, including Summer and The New Quarantine, and a translator of some of Sweden’s most celebrated contemporary poets.
