Wonderful.

Dear Mr Salamon thanks for your introduction about the three great arhitecs works especially about Ca'd'Oro beautiful palace in it the miraciolus Chapell with San Sebastian statue by Francetti an and the surrundin foyes and arckades with the wie to Venis.The tomb in the heart of his own creation is to remeber on him for ever.Arrideverci

Advancing our knowledge of the world through art..merci Dr. Solmon!

Can d'Oro is the story with the most breathtakingly beautiful place and the most heartbreaking ending that I have heard. So haunting! And yet so beautiful! Thank you Mr Chief Curator!

Wow I’m immunosuppressed and withdrawn in this epidemic. Now I feel more inspired to survive! Been to the Frick and to Venice but not the Ca’ d oro or Boston. God preserve us and all the beauty available.

Xavier F. Salamon is one of our "New York treasures" and his tour of the Ca' d"Oro was inspiring. I pray that on the other side of this pandemic, that Venice can better manage what has become an unsustainalbe amount of tourism, especially from those loathsome giant out of scale ships. I understand that Venice has been hollowed out of real residents, down to something like 50,000 people. Venice is my favorite place in the world, and this year they have suffered from first the worst aqua alta, and. now the COVID virus. But my prayer when we get back to traveling, that the city imposes some order, as their cultural patrimony is being worn away by overtourism, and especially these giant cruise ships which should be banished!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're dying out here. First thing I do when this is all over is go to a museum!

The Ringling Museum in Sarasota Florida also includes a beautiful Venetian Villa in a style copied directly from Ca" d'Oro, named Ca' d'Zan ! It would be interesting for you!

We travel a lot, but often it is difficult to absorb the many aspects of a museum in a short time. The Frick presentations are jewels of education to prepare for a future visit. Thank you. Elizabeth 🇨🇦

I love your confidence as a tour guide and curator. You are knowledgeable, engaging, and inspiring.

Totally wonderful, Mr. Salomon! Thank you very much for such an illuminating talk. Nancy Wight

I was in Venice in November. I had spare morning and went to visit this palace. It was stunning and also it was empty. A true hidden gem.

I am lucky to have visited all three of the museums mentioned in this travelogue. I have a photo of my husband kissing me by the well in Ca' D'Oro. Thank you for this wonderful series, and giving me the opportunity to relive my visits.

Thank you! I will see it in person one day.

We have had the pleasure of staying at Ca’ Sagredo hotel next door to Ca’ d’Oro twice and I have yet to visit d’Oro...that will change soon! I cannot believe I have not yet visited this place...gorgeous! Thank you!

Thank you so much for my escape to Venice! What an amazing offering of your time and talent, Mr. Solomon, thank you again.

First we get to have cocktails with Xavier Salomon-be sure to watch those videos too!-and then we get to travel with him. :) As someone who loves both the Frick Collection and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, how wonderful to be introduced to a museum I did not know, that is something of an Italian parallel.

it was a shame that I didn't get to visit Venice when I traveled to Italy. but thanks to our curator Mr. Salomon, I have every reason to go there if I get a chance! Those mosaic designs are incredible and insane, and it moves me a bit when I learned that Franchetti's ashes were buried in a column where he spent his heart on. I look forward to more videos guided by the frick foundation. :))

I love this man's attitude

Wonderfully restorative to the spirit. Thank you X Salomon.

Thank you to the Frick for this short visits so interesting.

Mr. Solomon should be living in Venice with us here in Italy . I see him living in Dorsoduro in a glorious gothic palace.I hope to see him here strolling the canals soon.

you did it again Xavier... superb presentation... Grazie .. Marina

Love this. Beautiful presentation. Really brightened my day. Thanks.

That was so sweet and sad. Beautifully presented. Thanks

a very beautiful lecture. Thank you.

Lovely, Thank you!

Wonderful! Thanks!!!!

There have been a plethora of museum curatorial talks for the art lover in these dispiriting times that test our fortitude. Kudos to Dr Salamon ar the Frick for his perceptive and scholarly discussions that are well conceived , interesting to us the general public ,and encircle us with warmth and spiritual nourishment . He ends his articulate discussion of the pleasures of the Ca ' d'Ora in Venice by making a poignant and brilliant comparison between the Palace' s spectacular carved " Well Head ' of 1427 and the broken porphyry column which is the monument to Franchetti the individual who so lovingly brought the Palace to its place of near humane perfection ...thank you Dr S. ! I look forward to more of the same .

Thank you for another wonderful presentation-counting my blessings that I have time to delve deeper into art history. Food for the soul!

Thank you so much for the excellent tour and information.

As a Venetian, I just can say thank you for the love and passion and deep knowledge you put in this description of one of Venice's most evocative museum. There are many beautiful places in Venice neglected by tourists which really worth a visit, such as Palazzo Cini in Campo San Vio, the Pinacoteca Querini Stampalia in Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the magnificent Palazzo Grimani, the Scuola di San Giorgio and Trifone and many many others. Next time you come to Venice, please try to enjoy all these little gems, avoiding the busiest places.

Thank you for this wonderful, educational presentation.

Thank you for those amazing videos!

always looking for these small hidden gems! thanks for the heads up! hoping to be back in Italy soon and will definitely be going here! wonderful presentation!

Thanks so much!

Another great presentation ! WE are going to remember these virtual travels the undeniable great works and... also the cocktails ! Thank You !! Quarantine has a new meaning !

This was so informative! I have been to Venice 20 years ago after college and never saw the Ca’ d’Oro. So beautiful. Venice is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited.

Thank you so much for this amazing series! Absolutely been loving these videos, such an amazing insight in to art and art history

Fabulous!

This was fantastic! Thank you making your presentation so interesting.

Thank you so much I love Venice! Is a magical place // Ana from Argentina

Thank You for this marvellous and enlightening series. I have many times taken the Traghetto fron Ca D'Oro to the Rialto Market and the thought of it now fills me with longing for Venice and New York which is in many ways its modern equivalent.

Thank you very much. I really enjoyed watching this first episode. I knew nothing about the Ca' d'Oro and I will look for it on my next visit to Venice.

Thank you so much,. Absolutely fascinating piece.Superb commentary, I so enjoyed this. Please keep this series going.

thank you so much for these videos! thank you for the moral support to my country, I actually live in Lombardy and know first hand what you are talking about. I've been in Venice many times but you certainly have been there more than me. I should definitely visit Cà d'Oro next time. Greetings from Italy and thanks again x

Makes me miss the place.

Very enjoyable and enriching. You must enjoy Henry James a great deal. Thank you.

This series is almost worth the "plague". Talk about turning your lemon unto lemon juice. Great idea which I am thoroughly enjoying. Thank you, Arthur L. Finn

Francis H. Kimball the architect of the Montauk Club (1889) 25 8th Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217 was inspired by the Ca' d'Oro www.montaukclub.com

Um...any other jobs like his going spare? Please?

I have never heard of the word: nevralgic. Is it possible that you meant to say neuralgic?

TOO SAD !!!!!
