The segment touches on Byron and Shelley, but is mostly about Keats and his time in Rome. It also includes part of a beautiful love letter to Fanny Brawne. The narrator speaks of Keats living on the second floor. The Italian way of counting stories is to call the first floor, the ground floor, and the numbering starts above.

Rome's many bridges are the focus of this video, including the Ponte Rotto, which dates back to ancient Rome. Only part of the Ponte Rotto is still standing and this is why it is called rotto or broken. Rivers are masculine in Italian, and ancient Roman statues portray River Gods as recumbent elderly men with long beards.
