Detailed explanation-1: -In November 1820, the English poet John Keats, who was dying of tuberculosis, came to Rome at the urging of friends and doctors who hoped that the warmer climate might improve his health.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is John Keats, above all, who has brought me to Rome. The poet arrived in the city in November 1820; he had just turned 25 and was gravely ill with tuberculosis. He left his fiancée, Fanny Brawne, in London and was in Rome because his doctors had suggested that another cold winter in London would kill him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Personal crisis. In the summer of 1818 Keats went on a walking tour in the Lake District (of northern England) and Scotland with his friend Charles Brown, and his exposure and overexertions on that trip brought on the first symptoms of the tuberculosis of which he was to die.
Detailed explanation-4: -Keats arrived in Rome terminally ill with tuberculosis, and died months later aged only 25. He spent his last days lovingly tended by his friend, the artist Joseph Severn. Their quarters are now a delightful and moving museum housing a collection of letters, paintings and manuscripts associated with Keats and Shelley.
