David Manzi, Appraising History

Episode Notes:

David Manzi has a unique perspective on the little (and big!) things that make our minds go brrriiinggg! From a Paul Revere Bell to a painting by Caravaggio, his mission is to help us understand how we value these items. And, it puts him in a place where he gets to see some really cool works!

His job, as an art appraiser, is to assess an object, looking at its condition, its history, and how it fits into the greater story of our lives, and then assign a value to it.

In doing so, he must also adhere to a strict set of ethical guidelines in order to foster trust between himself, his clients and any third party. For example, an insurance company.

As a retired Marine and Rotarian, these ethical stipulations are not a challenge. After all, the Rotary motto of "Service above Self" could also be applied to the ethos of the Marines.

Join us as we talk about art, history and the stories these precious objects can tell us.
