Lonely Planet review for Cimitero Acattolico per gli Stranieri

Despite the busy roads that surround it, Rome’s ‘Non-Catholic Cemetery for Foreigners’ (aka the Protestant Cemetery) is a surprisingly restful place. As the traffic thunders past, you can wander the lovingly tended paths contemplating Percy Bysshe Shelley’s words: ‘It might make one in love with death to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.’ And so he was, along with fellow Romantic poet, John Keats, and a whole host of luminaries, including Antonio Gramsci, the revered founder of the Italian Communist Party.
