Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 26: Fra Angelico: Art, Spirit, and the San Marco Experience
Q: Tell us the story of Fra Angelico. Who is he and how did he become this gateway drug for us art historians?
Fra Angelico, born Guido di Pietro around 1395, emerges as a disciplined Dominican friar who combines spiritual sensitivity with an entrepreneurial spirit, working within and beyond the San Marco convent to produce incredibly serene, contemplative works. His role as a patronage-driven yet deeply devotional painter, and the way his in-situ frescoes at San Marco connect monastic life to broader Florentine society, makes him an ideal starting point for studying the early Renaissance's theology, aesthetics, and social networks.
Ep. 28: How To Renovate a Home in Italy
Q: Professionally and personally, is it better to buy a new home in Italy or renovate an old one?
Professionally, an old home is better due to structural longevity and the authentic sense of place; personally, renovating an old home is preferred for its character and living experience, despite the challenges.
Ep. 28: How To Renovate a Home in Italy
Q: What are some of the things that people need to know about renovating a home in Italy that they might not be thinking of?
Renovation requires understanding the different building materials, the need for multiple permits from various offices (including historic preservation), potential previous violations on a listing, and the importance of hiring local professionals to navigate the regulatory landscape and ensure compliance.
Ep. 18: The Passing of Pope Francis and the Upcoming Papal Conclave
Q: Do you think it's going to be a controversial choice for the new Pope?
There are rumors that the new Pope may be an Asian candidate, but some say the U.S. is pushing for a conservative Pope.
Ep. 15: Basilicata's Beachside Paradise with Author Helene Stapinski
Q: What have you experienced when you've taken people to Basilicata?
They are often blown away by the beauty of the area and the warm welcoming nature of the locals.
