A few more pics of my new house

Tonight I have a spare half hour, and I decided to post a few more pictures of my new house.

(This darn web interface is so slow! It took me five minutes to put here one single pic... This post is going to be much shorter than originally intended!)

Here you see again the stairs leading to the fourth floor, but they've been embellished by a few additions... Vases, music books, Santa, and a big piece of Calcite from China. You can also see the glasses in the lower shelves, since I opened the door of the cabinet.

This is a view of the entrance "hall" from the dining room. The hall has a peculiar shape, with two curved walls with false doors on two sides. The walls are painted with red stucco.

Here is the entrance hall, with the old consolle and the mirror. The false door on the curved wall leads to a smaller hall from which open doors to the bedrooms and the third floor bathroom.

Finally (for tonight), in a corner between dining and living room my electronic piano has found a safe haven. If you zoom in you can see what I've been playing lately, Beethoven's sonatas.

Nice, very nice.
So what's it like actually *living* in Venice? I mean, do you say, "let's all take a stroll to Piazza San Marco"? It just seems very surreal to me that someone can actually be lucky enough actually to *live* in Venice!

I must confess I do not set foot on Piazza San Marco since a couple years ago.

For me, living in Venice has little meaning, since on daylight hours I am in Padova, where I work, and then I am confined within the walls of my home. During weekends I go to the mountains as often as I can....

But Venice is indeed nice. Very damp, but in the few clear days it's a pleasure to stroll around. I also like the foggy nights of winter time, but unfortunately we've had very few of those this fall.
