day of series this week on unusual things to do in Rome things.
everybody visits the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Trevi fountain and the square of Spain, when they go to Rome. While these sites are sensational, they are just the same tip of the iceberg - there is so much more to see and do in Rome!
that's why this week I'm looking at other things to do while you're in the eternal city, things that are a bit more rare.

Jewish Ghetto and the pyramid of Cestius. Today, we visit the cemetery for Non-Catholic foreign nationals, which is be at the base of the pyramid.

the cemetery for Non foreign Catholics
I like to go to the French cemeteries. Resplendent in the statues of the wailing women and the pain of the angels they are spectacular to visit. Italian cemeteries tend to be lighter, more on the business of death. However, this one is beautiful. Statues, gardens, flowers gone - it's beautiful. And he has some fantastic statues, wailing.
this cemetery was the final resting place for all kinds of fascinating folk including, Keats, Shelley and Goethe.
located in the neighborhood of Testaccio, bordering the Ostiense,
for foreigners Non-Catholic cemetery also has a park-like, where you can watch the pyramid of Cestius.

bonus are the crazy cat ladies working the sanctuary and cross the cemetery with giant bowls of food for felines. As caricatures of themselves, they talk about my deeper fears of one day becoming a Lady Cat crazy myself. Although if you're going to be a crazy Cat Lady, you might as well be one in Rome!
to find as the cemetery for Non foreign Catholics take Via Marmorata in the bottom of the Hill of the Aventine in the direction of the Aurelian wall. Search the giant pyramid shining in the Sun, and you will find the cemetery sitting right next to her.
