Ca' d' Zon, and the Ringling Museum




One of my most 
popular posts
on
my blog
was 
my tour of the 
Ringling Museum..


this year we decided to tour the house as well...





and of course..
I wanted to share the adventure with you..

I was and am overwhelmed by the amount of antique European
art and we spent the day touring..

The story of John and Mable is a sad one.
they spent only 3 seasons in the house,
before Mable died
and John's life deteriorated soon after..

but since they had no children,
we were blessed with 
his gift to the state..

enjoy, 
I think you will be amazed...
the Rubens cartoons in the entry 

are
unbelievable ...

ciao, ciao!
