| Contents | Moritz understands Warburg why he loves Florence, art and nature come together in a unique way in Florence; S. Croce impressed him more than St. Maria Novella; Mrs. Laurent and Mrs. [Anna?] Petri made a good impression on him, Miss Schröder showed him where Warburg sat in the hotel; Elisa Bulle-Rigutini is a lovely woman, Oskar Bulle looks depressed; there is not much happening yet in the German Club; the Warburg family visited the Uffizi, mentions Botticelli paintings, was impressed by the Holofernes painting as it is so different from all the other Botticelli paintings; [Horace] von Landau told Moritz that he had reason to believe that an archaeological institute would be established, an international institute; [Max Georg] Zimmermann is unpopular because he insisted on a German director; Bulle said he could not make out whether members of the committee like A. Schmarsow or H. Thode wanted to become directors; Bulle said that Warburg would be a good director, as Warburg knows the Italians, speaks the language; Mrs. [Jessie] Hillebrand's view would carry great weight; H. Ulmann created a bad impression with his 20 lectures; Bulle suggests to Warburg to publish his article [I Costume teatrali] in German; Moritz finds the frescoes in Palazzo Riccardi 'overwhelming', the tapestries, Laurenzia library; Charlotte is very much taken with the art treasures, with Florence, the landscape around it; mentions Galileo's tower; in the afternoon Olga and Charlotte visited Mrs. [J.] Hillebrand, a noble, educated woman, used to take centre stage; she has a hearing aid so that the conversation went very well; an Englishwoman, Miss Williams, was with her; von Landau visited the Warburgs |
