Yes, Tosca is a wonderful opera. Curiously last month we were burglarized. They overlooked the original works of art and other valuable things, but took the custom framed print of you showed of Sarah Bernhardt as Tosca and a few other opera prints. Imagine, opera-loving burglars!
Such a brilliant talk. Xavier Salomon is capable of weaving a true life tale integrating opera, history, architecture and art. He makes the most wonderful and inspiring connections between people and things. I love this series and cocktails with a curator as well.
it will be wonderful when the Frick is open again, but I will sooooo miss these lectures by Xavier Salomon! Love listening to all these presentations while sewing masks!!!
I love these travels to lesser known places, their connections to our times, and to the Frick. Thank you. I look forward to traveling to Poland next week,.
Sto esaurendo le frasi di elogio adatte a spiegazioni così chiare, complete e profonde. Ci sono stata e rivivo tutto attraverso i Suoi video. Complimenti per la Sua cultura enciclopedica e la maniera estremamente semplice con cui ce ne fa parte. Grazie , grazie , grazie.
Thank you Xavier for this interesting lesson on one of the most fascinating monument of our city. Bravissimo come sempre!Saluti da Roma. Luca e Stefania.
You are just too smart. Is all this coming off the top of your head? Wow! I love the Frick and I love and have spent some time in your home town. Stayed in via Ottaviano. Hung out around the Vatican. Weird, huh? Great presentation! Thanks
Thanks for this beautifully entertaining and informative and educational video. It makes me want to go and live the rest of my life in Rome. And to visit the Frick Collection in New York --- frequently.
Salomon è molto bravo! Gli suggerisco di illustrare una raccolta d'arte bellissima ma poco nota fuori d'Italia: la Fondazione Magnani Rocca a Traversetolo, vicino a Parma. È un museo non molto grande ma magnifico. Possiede il quadro più importante di Goya che esista al di fuori della Spagna. Inoltre sono presenti opere importantissime di Tiziano, Rubens, Van Dyck, Carpaccio, Durer, Gentile da Fabriano, Canova, Renoir, Monet, Morandi ecc.ecc. La visita potrebbe essere abbinata con quella alla Galleria Nazionale di Parma che ospita opere importantissime di Correggio, Parmigianino, Holbein, Van Dyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Canova, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Piazzetta ecc.ecc.
Its was very intetesting to discover again Rome Hadrians monument.StAngelo were I was also but I havent seen the beatifully decorated saal.But it was many years ago.St.Mochaels schuld really stop Covid I pray also to him and schoul defend the Santo Padre Francesco and hide may bee in case there.
Cellini was quite a character, but probably someone to avoid. Anyone watching this is likely to visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum if they're ever in Vienna, and you will be amazed when you see Cellini's exquisite salt cellar there. Trust me, photographs do not do it justice.
You're right: great artists are not always good people. Caravaggio, for instance, killed a man in a duel, and Michelangelo had an impossible temperament, according to ancient sources.
Fabulous! So informative and rich! Xavier Salomon's videos have been one of the most precious silver linings of the confinement. Thank you!
Love,love,love this series and specifically curator Solomon’s presentation. Thank you!
Love this "Travels with a Curator" series - 2 so far! Excellent and wonderful Curator Salomon. Bravo!

Thank you!
I just have to say that I love these presentations. They are wonderfully researched and always interesting.
Another interesting and informative lesson...thank you! Can’t wait to show Tosca to my girls.
Another brilliant program. A nexus of art, history and culture.

This is one of the most informative, lucid and entertaining videos of its kind I've ever seen.
it will be wonderful when the Frick is open again, but I will sooooo miss these lectures by Xavier Salomon! Love listening to all these presentations while sewing masks!!!
I love these videos! Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Hope to get back to the Frick soon. Thanks so much for this wonderful video!!!
I love these travels to lesser known places, their connections to our times, and to the Frick. Thank you. I look forward to traveling to Poland next week,.
Enjoyed this so much. I've visited this site in 2014. I have a souvenir magnet on my fridge. I miss Rome. I had plans to visit Italy this fall :(
We have planed to visit in the fall also. Hopefully next year.

very beautiful + interesting
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing :)♥️🌹
Absolutely incredible- thank you so much!!!!
Fantastic! Thank you for those wonderful videos!
Thank you - so interesting to hear the story behind the Castel Sant'Angelo.
Great videos! Thank you, if possible I would like to see more of the Frick collection since lockdown will probably last longer in Costa Rica.
Thank you this wonderful series- such a revelation, and its is remarkable how similar to the Tower of London this Castel is.
I really loved this, as I nearly missed out, but as an afterthought did visit Castel Sant’Angelo and this has helped fill in the gaps.
ALL OF ITALY SHOULD BE PRESERVED WITH GREAT CARE - ROME ! just the name ! DEAR GOD !
A very interesting video. Thanks! Rome is superb and contains so much. They say (correctly!) that it takes more than one lifetime to see Rome.

Very interesting, thank you Xavier. And do carry on with these short talks, they are so instructive and entertaining.
Thanks for this beautifully entertaining and informative and educational video. It makes me want to go and live the rest of my life in Rome. And to visit the Frick Collection in New York --- frequently.
Great lecture! I have so many questions about the Castel I am compelled to write a letter to Director Salomon!
Another great travel ! Grazie Mille !!!!
Fascinating. I have been there several times but never went inside. Next time.
Beautifully done.. would love to see all.thank you
Wonderful. Thank you.
Bravissimo

Came for the castle, stayed for Vincenzo Anastagi's pants.
Beautiful ! Shared ;->
“I’m assuming most people saw it” haha. No my friend , we haven’t.
Bugs Bunny didn't do Tosca? Shame.
@@bahhumbug9824 Aha! That’s why I missed it!
Who painted the portrait of the son of the pope? Couldn't understand from your voice.
PBS executives should be planning an armchair travel series starring Xavier.
Tosca
Cellini was quite a character, but probably someone to avoid. Anyone watching this is likely to visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum if they're ever in Vienna, and you will be amazed when you see Cellini's exquisite salt cellar there. Trust me, photographs do not do it justice.
Hector Berlioz,the greatest French composer,wrote an opera called "Benvenuto Cellini" -the Roman carnival overture is a well known excerpt from it.
You're right: great artists are not always good people. Caravaggio, for instance, killed a man in a duel, and Michelangelo had an impossible temperament, according to ancient sources.
what the frick?
