Comment on Omkring 1.9.1805
Thorvaldsen’s landlord at Casa Buti, Camillo Buti. Cf. Stanley’s mention of the family as “Budes” in letter of 30.8.1805.
The amount of four and the date September 1st make it likely that this is Thorvaldsen’s monthly rent for his rooms in Casa Buti as a bill for rent probably of 22.11.1804 and probably from Camillo Buti to Thorvaldsen seems to show that the sculptor paid four scudi a month in rent.
However, the fact that the other sums in this note are in piastres weakens the claim that the amount was to pay the rent for September, but Thorvaldsen may not have had any problems dealing with both piastres and scudi in the same memo.
