I am very intrigued by the Anderson museum.... it didnt exist when I lived in the center of Rome and since then I learned that he had a special relation with the writer Henry James - makes them both more interesting.

Indeed Mary Jane! There is a letter of Henry James professing his love to Andersen who was however, 30 years younger. The real nature of their relationship seems to be unknown but that is not surprising in those times.

How can I get information on the apartment for rent? Is it for short term as well?

Love this! Reminds me of the grilled baby artichoke sandwich with calabrian chiles and sharp provolone I adapted from hit NYC eatery Misipasta for easy home cooking!

Letizia- The idea of "art and artichoke" is really singing to me. How wonderful. My personal bias on places immediately drew me to the red-peach structure you posted here--"gypsum on steroids." I'd say art added to artichoke (or vice versa), is itself on steroids indeed! But in a good way. I'll have to make my way to Rome again sometime soon. Always breathtaking. Hope you're well this week, Letizia? :)
