In Search Of ...

I wrote that I used part of my time, during my latest stay in Tivoli, searching for traces of the local site of the Institute. I'm not sure if I set myself on the right track. Along one of my daily walks I stumbled upon (or better, under) this kind of inaccessible fortress. It is told to be a nunnery. In my past life in Tivoli I don't remember having seen any nun coming out of it. Facing this side of the building, right over the narrow street passing beneath, a huge ravine that leads down to the gorge carved by the Anio river in the last millions of years.

Is this it?

Could these be the Institute premises?

The front yard

I've spotted this building not far from where I'm living during one of my last Sunday's rides on my bike. It looks like being abandoned since eons but it's actually populated by someone. The small, ancient, garden on the front is clearly maintained, even if has already put on its winter frock. The door light is on night and day but the blinds are always shut. I've heard someone in the nearby village calling it the "institute". I'll investigate a little more in the coming days.
