A few details of the suite
The suite, which accommodated Countess Eleonora Della Porta, wife of Teodosio Fiorenzi, after his passing away in 1935, was the only room in the house to have an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom, of ancient construction and fine workmanship, juts out of the wall overlooking the roofs below. Its small window offers a breathtaking view of the Apennines where the sun sets.
The suite has two bathrooms and a double sofa bed in the anteroom/living room to accommodate two more people.

Bruno da Osimo, pen name of Bruno Marsili, was a xylograph engraver and writer born in Osimo in 1888 and died in Ancona in 1962.
