The House with Crying Windows

Pictured above are a series of floor plans in Liberty/Art Deco style of a very large house owned by Alessandra’s family and located in the heart of Florence, Italy. For almost two years, the house has been unlawfully occupied by a non-communitary woman who almost surely acted on behalf of — alas! — our unidentified fellow “patriots” interested to run their “business” there with no cost in a risk-free way. We filed suit against the frontwoman, and finally, on October 10, 2016, we re-entered into possession of the house. Inside, we found the worst representation of an occupied house, and since then we’ve been working non-stop everyday in order to restore damaged rooms. We haven’t had a single day’s holiday so far. I never forget when I entered the house for the first time on that morning of October 10, I immediately saw and felt something I had seen and felt already, even if not there. Behind the charade of such a badly staged representation, everything revealed the unmistakable style of Arcovazzi. So somehow I think the story we will tell you a little at a time may be of some interest. Of course, the glasses of all windows were broken, and so, no doubt, we should title our (not too short) story “The House with Crying Windows”.
