The Bargello is Italy's most important museum dedicated to sculpture. Originally, it was the seat of the mayor, later the police captain and city prison. Like a dress that sometimes outshines its wearer, the Bargello often seems to be more beautiful than its contents. What do you think?
Sorry, that's not fair! I couldn't show you pictures of the sculptures, the most famous of which is Donatello's David, which are inside.
Last night my landlord, a composer of electronic music, left me a ticket for a modern dance performance which they held inside the courtyard of the Bargello. A magical place for a performance. And they were clever with projecting images and videos on the wall (for example, giant ants climbing the stairs).
I think you have a fabulous landlord! What a fun evening and I'm totally in love with the ceiling. Think we could do that in one of your rooms?
