My apartment in Florence
I'd like to meet this upstairs neighbor:
Before the Four Seasons took over the Giardino della Gherardesca and made it open only to its guests, my building used to have access to this pocket of green in the city. Now, sadly, this door remains locked.
The building dates back to the 1600s. Based on this ceiling, I'm sure that it was very impressive before it was divided up into separate apartments.
This whole cornice of the loft space in the apartment is trompe l'oeil. Amazing!
Ok. If my residence isn't important enough, how about Borgo San Lorenzo, 24, where Michel Montaigne lived in 1580 and in 1581?
