1: And when the night arrives, I return home, and enter into my studiolum; and
on the threshold I take off that everyday costume, and put on royal and
curial vests; and thus I enter into the ancient courts of those ancient men,
where I am kindly accepted by them, and where I can feed upon that food that
is only
2: mine, for which I was born; where I do not feel ashamed to speak with them
and ask them about the reasons of their deeds; and they humanely reply to me;
and for those hours I do not feel any dullness, forget every affliction, I'm
not afraid of poverty, and not anxious of death: I entirely rely upon them.
3: (Machiavelli 1513)
4: In the studiolum, a space that was both real and symbolic, the Renaissance
and Baroque man cultivated his intellectual activities. It was simultaneously
a library, museum and a private chamber where, in solitude, he could engage
in a direct conversation with the learned spirits of Antiquity and their
great books
5: the Studiolum also stored prodigious objects that expanded the world
further beyond the cares of everyday life.

7: May Caissa be with you
