Question

I will be spending 4 days in Rome. What famous people are buried in Rome who's graves I can see?

Answer 1

I have  no idea but i believe Constantine might be somewhere arond there.  May I suggest not spending all 4 days in Rome.  I regretted not visiting as many places as I possibly could.

Answer 2

Inside Pantheon there are some graves of famous people: for example, famous italian painters like Raffaello, Annibale Carracci, Perin del Vaga, Baldassarre Peruzzi, Taddeo Zuccari, and the Italian Kings Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I.

In St. Peter (Grotte Vaticane) there are the graves of Pope (also the John Paul II).

Answer 3

If you visit the Protestant Cemetery at Piramide ( Pee-rah-mee-day)(Metro Line B, blue coloured) you will find the graves of Keats and Shelley (great Romantic poets), as well as Gramsci (a very famous Italian philosopher and politician) among others who I don't find as interesting but you may.

It's not hard to get to and has reasonable opening hours. It's also next to an unusual sight in Europe: a pyramid (hence the name of the metro stop), a tomb built by his slaves for a Roman called Caius Cestius (I think that's his name anyway).

The area is called Testaccio (tess-tah-chee-oh) and is a great place to go clubbing, plus it's a short walk from here to Circo Massimo, which is a nice open space in the sunshine, with picturesque ruins along one side of it-I don't do it justice but it is lovely in good weather.

Hope you enjoy your stay!

ps.If you are particularly interested in Shelley and Keats, you should also pay a visit to the museum in the house where they used to live. It's at Piazza di Spagna (The Spanish Steps-Metro Line A, yellow coloured).
