Taranto sounds intriguing. I met Maria's counterparts in under-visited museums in Parma and the Veneto earlier this year. They were touchingly eager to share their knowledge, perhaps especially because no one else was around.
Thank you Eric…. would you believe I had a grandson of Getty as a student many, many years ago….poor boy was kidnapped but the nonno wouldn’t pay the ransom.

Wonderful post-- what a great museum. That nutcracker!!! Incredible....
I have visited the Getty in LA a couple of times, but I don't think I have any photos. If I can find one of the sculpture group I'll send...

you knew Paul Getty kidnapped in 73? amazing story, that. would be a good substack!
I can’t write anything positive about it - better to keep it “private”
That jewelry! I got to see the Orpheus and the Sirens in Rome. Thank you for showing us their new home.
