Back in April I switched offices at the Hertziana. The construction on the various palazzi that make up the institute is finally coming to an end, and with that there has been a lot of reshuffling of books, archival photographs, and people. It's a bit of a mess, basically.
Although my tenure at the Hertz is almost at an end (next year I won't have my own office and will have to use the general reading room with all the other plebes), I've loved having this new office for the time being. There is a tiny balcony, so much natural light, and fantastic views.

Reproductions of the underdrawings of the original frescoes in the room (that have now been detached and sold to a museum in Berlin)
My desk
View towards the center of the city
Just across the street is Valentino's atelier, and our office has a nice little view to the inside
Though sadly I've yet to see the man himself. Or his pugs. Apparently he has like 6 of them.
