During Madonna and Josh's visit, one of the sites we visited was the Keats/Shelley house. Located next to the Spanish Steps, this museum is dedicated to the English Romantic poets. It was here that John Keats died in 1821 from TB. His bedroom is preserved as a shrine. The more than 8000 volumes displayed in the libraries contain many of the works of the Romantic poets. Purchased in 1906 by the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association the museum is situated on the bottom ride side of Spanish Steps
