We don't know for sure.

It's unlikely that he started it because historical evidence is that he wasn't even in Rome when the fire started, and it's said that he even opened up his house and his pantry to the victims of the fire.

He definitely would have had motives to start it- the best building area in Rome was burned, and he later built an amazing palace right in its place.

The traditional legend is that he played his lyre/harp while Rome burned.

Who was blamed for the great fire of Rome in AD64?

Blame for the Great Fire of Rome has been attached to two sides. The Emperor Nero was blamed for his lack of action, and there were even suggestions that he may have started it himself in order to bypass the senate and rebuild Rome to his liking. Evidence to support this theory includes the fact that the Domus Aurea, Nero's majestic series of villas and pavilions set upon a landscaped park and a man-made lake, was built in the wake of the fire. To direct attention away from himself, Nero used the Christians as scapegoats. Thus began the earliest persecutions of Christians in Rome, action which included feeding them to the lions.


Was emperor Nero of Rome mentally ill?

Nero was eccentric and extravagant, but was not mentally ill. There were allegations that he deliberately set fire to Rome in the Great Fire of 64. However, Tacitus said that he was not even in Rome when the fire broke out. This allegation was slander by writers who despised him.
