For our field trip on Tuesday we went to the Non-Catholic (or Protestant) Cemetary and Shelly-Keats House. In the cemetery, anyone who is not Catholic and be buried there. I'm thinking that's why they changed the name from Protestant to Non-Catholic. It is people who lived in Italy or had a large influence here such as writers, poets, politicians, etc. It wasn't your typical cemetery. Everything was lively and the gravestones were all beautiful and unique. We also went to Shelley-Keats house which is right beside the Spanish Steps. You may ask who was Shelley or Keats? Well, that's a good question...that I'm not really sure what the answer is. ha! I know they were writers that went on the Grand Tour around Europe. That's about all my knowledge on them. We can just say you have Senioritis in Italy too. : )
The entrance of the Cemetery...
Keats and Severn's grave (I think Severn was Keats bff)...
An ancient pyramid...
The Grieving Angel...I thought she was so beautiful.
I know you were wondering what Keats looked like...so here's his face mold.
Thursday we went to the Ninfa Gardens, which used to belong to an aristocratic family. There's not much to say about them so I'll just let you enjoy the pictures : ) ...
Dresh, me and Momma O!
