Protestant cemetery is one of the highlights of a trip to Rome. The cemetery is located near the pyramid of Caius Cestius.
I love to go there, sometimes, it is a surprisingly peaceful island, totally different from other cemeteries, in my opinion.
You could try to guess who the young english poet is…
Update: on the grave you can read:
“This Grave contains all that was mortal,
of a
YOUNG ENGLISH POET,
who
on his Death Bed,
in the Bitterness of his heart,
at the Malicious Power of his enemies,
desired these words to be Engraven on his Tomb Stone:
Here lies One
Whose Name was writ in Water.”
