Made it to Italy! Our first night was at La Posta Vecchia, a lovely seaside hotel in a villa restored by J. Paul Getty in the 1960s. It's decorated with some beautiful pieces including this fine Piranesi map, the Ichnographia Campi Martii. There's a small museum for the 2nd c. BC Roman villa in the basement.
