The Rucellai family's present palace, I may say here, is in the Via della Scala, and by good fortune I found at the door sunning himself a complacent major-domo who, the house being empty of its august owners, allowed me to walk through into the famous garden the Orti Oricellari where the Platonic Academy met for a while in Bernardo Rucellai's day.
