Rare systems with multiple sources strongly lensed by a single galaxy provide the most robust way to explore the geometry of the Universe and to study the inner mass structure of lens galaxies. We present here a study of the SDSS J0100+1818 deflector, analyzing its total and baryonic mass distributions. The system comprises an ultra-massive early-type galaxy, surrounded by ten multiple images of three background sources. Exploiting high-resolution HST photometry and VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy we conduct a strong lensing analysis with the software GLEE to reconstruct the complex surface brightness distributions of the background sources over approximately 7200 HST pixels. These results are presented in our recent paper, Bolamperti et al. (2023). Finally, we present some preliminary results from new VLT/MUSE observations, that will allow us to build a new strong lensing+dynamics joint model and measure the values of the total matter density and of the cosmological constant parameters, Ωm and ΩΛ.
