If you’re looking for sumptuous art, head to the Gallery Borghese, which gets my vote for the best interior of any palace in Europe. Every inch is richly decorated, and, from the perspective of Baroque sensibilities, it works. We were filming there for three hours on a Monday, when it was closed to the public. Delightful experience. Join me for a quick little walk with Cardinal Borghese, Canova, and, of course, the father of the Baroque movement, Bernini.

Rick – these video blog posts are fantastic. It`s so much fun to experience Europe for a couple of minutes during an otherwise ordinary day. Just my opinion – Hillary should have thanked you!
Rick, I agree with Tom that these video posts are fantastic. Keep them coming.
Francesca is such a fabulous guide! She has the ability to transport you into ancient Rome with her words, and she looks great with longer hair. Rick could you please slow the pans down were getting sick out here.
Here, in Monterrey, Mexico, we honor and celebrate the work of G. L. Bernini posting his name in one of the streets and I, particularly feel a personal pride of living in that street.
The Borghese is such an amazing museum and the sculpture of Daphne and Apollo really is breathtaking. I can`t wait to see your new shows Rick. Thanks for the videos, a great little preview of what is to come!
Great shots, Rick! They transport me back to the Gallery, which I had the great fortune to visit 4.5 years ago. Loved it. Thanks!
Hillary thanks not one,ever!
Rick thank you so much for the video. I find Bernini`s work awe inspiring. I am green with envy over your opportunity to spend so much time with these beautiful sculptures. Thank you, again, for taking time out of your busy schedule to share these moments.
Yay! Great to see Francesca!
Rick Your vedio is fantastic.I vote for “House by Bernini” the best interior of any palace in Europe.I Like it and Keep them Coming.
How great to be able to be in the gallery alone, shooting that fabulous statue that way. I`m sure a treat for Rick, and thanks for sharing it to make it a treat for us!
