I would most like to live in the early 17th century (the 1600's). my art history teacher described Rome at this time as being a decrepit hell-hole, rife with criminals and prostitutes and urban wildfires. sounds exciting! baroque architecture would just be taking off (bonus), and I could possibly get to hang out with Caravaggio (cross my heart).
the only downside I see here is that there is no Kate Bush or Sonic Youth in the 1600's, but at least I could jam with Claudio Monteverdi.
what sayeth youse?
