My Apartment


Hey guys, here's one picture of my apartment. Its bigger and way nicer than any of us expected it would be. The building is over 5oo years old (I think) and still has original frescos on the ceiling. (Fresco is a type of painting where wet plaster is applied to stone and pure pigment is added to the plaster to color it, very tedious and a studio has to work quickly before the plaster dries) The roommates are great, we are getting along pretty well and they are all art students as well. The apartment is located 2 blocks North of the Duomo(the main Cathedral of Firenze) on Via Ricasoli and two blocks North of our building is the Accademia, the museo that holds Michelangalo's David Statue. We are also within walking distance of just about everything in the old city of Firenze.
