Who Do You Get Mouth Blisters With Worms

Florentine Christmas ..... ......

ciaogirls!

.......... the Florentine Christmas (I guess it is not the only one!) Is full of many events: markets galore, Fierucola, music ..... ............ and we, instead, where you go ???????

...... well I have decided to leave for a while everything about Christmas and, on Friday afternoon, we took advantage of a free guided tour (!) To discover Villa La Loggia, Florence, in Via Bolognese! We were not really sure, but then, upon arrival we realized it is the seat ..... Once the publisher. What a wonderful place ....... all of 3250 square meters occupied by offices, but kept very well !!!!!!! It seems that the villa was the venue where the famous architect was Conspiracy de 'Pazzi against Lorenzo il Magnifico ... but there is no absolute certainty and must share this "primacy" of the Castle Trebbio although traces of a fire suggests that these sites were really silent witnesses of this event! Girls, it was just a wonderful visit ........ I could not do a lot of these photos ..... but, I think, give an idea!

A 'corner of the front .......

an area ...... del chiostro affrescato con grottesche e carte geografiche riprodotte, quasi alla perfezione, per volere di uno dei tanti proprietari che nel tempo si sono succeduti, dalle carte del famoso cartografo cinquecentesco Ortelius  (di cui io ignoravo l'esistenza....ma sono molte le cose che non so!)

 ...un affresco interno.....

 ....e, trattandosi di una azienda, un chiostro chiuso e riadattato ad uso ufficio, con tanto di camminamento perfettamente in uso e anche questo pieno di scrivania e punti di lavoro.........redattori, impaginatori e chi più ne ha più ne metta........

and then, the first edition of Pinocchio, dated 1883 !!!!!!!!

... in short, a magical place for people who love books, for people who make them and those who work in these places!

Today, after a visit to the market because the house (and I did not know anything !!!!!!!! arghhhhhh), a nice walk in Via Vecchia Fiesolana , a ' strewn slope that was once the only way to join with Fiesole Florence ....... and what a discovery that is .... no! We can only imagine the beautiful villas that we saw on the way up but, alas, are hidden by high stone walls ........
