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).

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).

Rome Hotelbye nowadays is among the most important tourist places of the world, because of the incalculable immensity of their archaeological and art gifts, as well as for the allure of its special traditions, the beauty of its panoramic opinions, and the majesty of its great parks. One of the points should see en Rome is Campo de'Fiori. Campo de'Fiori is a square square south of Piazza Navona used as a marketplace through the day, and party key for university pupils and tourists at night. The name indicates “subject of flowers” and was first given throughout the Middle Ages when the location was actually a meadow. Another place worth visit is The Roman Forum. Positioned in the small area involving the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, The Roman Forum was for ages the teeming center of old Rome and nowadays is just a vast destroy of architectural pieces
