It's the end of the Certaldo workshop. Gracious Claudia drove some of us into Firenze, and I landed at the lovely Hotel Ferrucci, in the "oltrarno" (other side of the Arno, kind of like the "left bank" of Paris), where the most polite receptionist, Nicoleta, welcomed me. After depositing the baggage, I set out walking along the river, through the amply touristed streets to the Palazzo Pitti museum, with the intention of seeing the collection of "i Machiaoli" work. Well, sorry charlie--not enough guards showed up today, so those rooms are closed. I explained my disappointment to the security guard, who wrote a note on the back of my ticket to let me in tomorrow to the rooms that were closed.
