The works of the Rodin Museum are housed in a building, located in the heart of Paris, which was Rodin’s home during the last years of his life.
Not always those who visit Paris for the first time think of going to see the Rodin Museum, but it is certainly an important stop to make because Rodin was the most important sculptor of the late 19th century and the forerunner of contemporary sculpture.

Did you know that there is a Royal Palace in Venice?
I am familiar with Venice and the Doge’s Palace, the residence of the Doge, but I had no idea that there was also the Royal Palace of Venice.
I had the privilege of seeing a preview of the twenty Royal Halls of Venice and I was left speechless!
After almost a century of oblivion, the Royal Palace of Venice, the symbol of 19th-century Venice where the city’s history unfolded after the fall of the Serenissima republic, has returned to shine.
It is a new itinerary of the Correr Museum and can be visited with the entrance ticket to the Doge’s Palace, which also gives access to the Museums of St Mark’s Square.
If you visit the Royal Palace in Naples, don’t forget to look for Caravaggio’s portrait, which can be found in one of the oldest frescoed vaults in the palace.
The artist who frescoed the vault, and who painted the portrait of the great master, is Battistello Caracciolo. One of the most important 17th century Neapolitan artists, who more than any other incorporated Caravaggio’s teachings when he came to Naples.
