Percy and Mary Shelley visited Napoli (Naples), in Campania, Italy, the home of Shakespeare's character Ferdinand, from The Tempest. In the play, Ferdinand, Prince of Naples, and his father, King Alonso, are shipwrecked in different parts of Prospero's Island. They do not learn of each other's survival until the end of the play. At that point, Ferdinand is able to return to Italy with his new bride, Miranda.
