On the footsteps of the “Grand Tour” in Rome: Keats, Shelley and Goethe | Rome | Italy

Between the 18th and 19th centuries, the Grand Tour was a common habit for European higher class members, who desired to explore and understand other countries culture and art. Italy and Rome soon became most popular destinations for such journey and, in the years, artists like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Percy Shelley and John Keats were among the most known and outstanding of guests. A private guided tour, away from the most usually visited places, will allow you to discover where these geniuses used to live and work – places that have become museums dedicated to their art. You will feel like a real Englishman or woman in Rome, sipping an exquisite cup of tea in the most ancient tea room in Italy. Finally, you will feel the peculiar, inimitable atmosphere of the place where some of these personalities have found their rest: the non-Catholic Cemetery near the Cestia Pyramid.
