Since returning home, I’ve been trying to schedule daily, morning writing time to work on the article, “Seven Days Writing in Florence.” One of the themes is inspiration, and as you can imagine, Florence is overflowing with it.
Today I wrote about my visit to Casa Guidi, the home of Elizabeth and Robert Browning from 1847 until 1861. The apartment is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3 to 6. Ring the bell and the door will be unlocked; in you go, and up the stairs to the first floor to be welcomed by a host or hostess of the Landmark Trust, UK. I wandered through the Browning’s bedroom, sitting room and studies, and onto the portico where Elizabeth spent much of her time, and spent time examining many of the original furnishings.
One can make a reservation through the Landmark Trust, UK to say in the apartment, but I understand it is booked for many years to come.
