When in Rome

[ubervamp]

Hi all

Going through some pics I took when last in Rome, and thought I'd throw a few out there.
The first two are from plaques on one of the bridges across the Tiber. I've no idea what they say, as my Italian stretches to "vino della casa" and "il conto", which usually suffices for most of my stay.
If anyone knows what they refer to, I'd be very happy to be enlightened
The third pic is from a plaque I came across on a wall in the middle of town.
The 4,5 and 6 are from the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, and the tomb of an individual who apparently had a connection with the Royal Scots Greys.

The last pics are of a statue I came across in Villa Borghese. Again, I don't recognize the individual, but if anyone knows, I'd love to hear!

On the recumbent chap.

Cockburn - ? Devereux Plantagenet - Royal Scots Greys - died 3rd May 1850.
Grave at the Protestant Cemetery, Rome, Italy - "Devereux Plantagenet Cockburn, late of the Royal Scots Greys, 2nd Dragoons, and first born son of Sir W.S.R. Cockburn Bart. N.S. of far off Britain, of deep and unpretending piety, of rare mental and corporeal endowments, he was beloved by all who knew him, and most precious to his parents and family, who had sought his health in many foreign climes, he departed this life in Rome, on the 3rd of May 1850, Aged 21 years."

Not a lot about him on google.
