Introduction to the Keats-Shelley Memorial House: The Keats-Shelley Memorial House (Keats-Shelley Memorial House) was once the cottage where the famous British poet Keats once lived. In 1820, Keats, who was suffering from severe lung disease, came to Rome to recuperate on the advice of his doctor and lived in the home of his friend Servais. He died young the next year. Keats's death inspired his friend Shelley to write a memorial poem. Shelley died in a shipwreck in 1822, and the three were later buried together in a Protestant cemetery in Rome. In 1906, the Anglo-American Association bought this house as a library and museum to commemorate Keats and Shelley, storing a lock of Keats's hair and a small box containing Shelley's ashes.
