  • Cover photo description:
  • The Cimitero Acattolico `Non-Catholic Cemetery` of Rome, often referred to as the Cimitero dei protestanti `Protestant Cemetery` or Cimitero degli Inglesi `Englishmen`s Cemetery`, is a private cemetery in the rione of Testaccio in Rome. It is near Porta San Paolo and adjacent to the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built between 18 and 12 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. It has Mediterranean cypress, pomegranate and other trees, and a grassy meadow. It is the final resting place of non-Catholics including but not exclusive to Protestants or British people. The earliest known burial is that of a University of Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The English poets John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley are buried there.
