Rome - Palazzo Verospi
|
| After
an unhappy
three-month
stay in Naples,
the Shelleys
returned
to Rome in
early-March
1819, renting
rooms in
the Palazzo
Verospi at
number 300
Corso. The
Corso was
one of the
more fashionable
addresses
in Rome—and
still is.
Today, the
long narrow
boulevard
is still
crammed
with banks,
expensive
shops, and
hotels.
Number
300 is far
south, very
close to
the Piazza
Venezia. |

|
| Shelley's home away from home was number 310 Corso, the
residence of aged painter/author/bluestocking Signora Marianna
Dionigna. Her salon was the center of the Shelleys' social
milieu. |
