Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of November 25, 1876

Overview

R. was warmly entertained by the German artists, and his reply to their address was said to be especially beautiful. I went to San Pietro in Vincoli to see the Moses, and spent the rest of the day haunted by its pained, angry expression before ending with a long outing to Monte Mario and Villa Mellini.

Saturday, November 25:

R. is entertained in the evening by the German artists here, and very nicely, it seems. I am told that he himself replied very beautifully to the address made to him.

In the morning I went to San Pietro in Vincoli to see the Moses, and spent the rest of the day with its pained and angry countenance in mind.

We drove up Monte Mario and spent a long time in the Villa Mellini in splendid weather.
