The Cats of the "Non-Catholic Cemetery" live in one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. Once known as the "Protestant Cemetery," it is situated near the ancient Pyramid of Caius Cestius in Rome. Many well known people are buried there: John Keats, his friend Shelley, Gottfried Semper, Goethe's son August, and the political thinker Antonio Gramsci, to name but a few. For some years there has been a refuge for homeless cats next to the cemetery, and the charity's volunteers feed and give medical aid to the cats who live in a semi-feral state among the tombstones in the cemetery garden. This photo book of the cats in their natural context perfectly captures the melancholy harmony between those who have passed on and the living inhabitants, the spiritual guardians of the deceased.
