NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.

La Dolce Vita with special guest Antonio Sersale.
Nate and Benjamin report on their last night on the canals and their harrowing evacuation from Venice. Have no fear though, the gents landed high and dry. This episode finds them reporting live from Positano where they are in residence at Le Sirenuse, probably the most magical hotel in the world. They find themselves ashore here to celebrate and inaugurate a magnificent tile mosaic the artist Nicolas Party has blessed the hotel's pool with.
In the second half of the pod the boys are joined by Antonio Sersale, hotel owner and quite likley the best host in the world. Antonio briefs us on the history of the hotel, what it takes to be a great host and the genisis of their fantastic contemporary art collaborations and collection.

Customer Reviews
A reminder of how vacuous the art market is
Just when I wonder whether the art market is centred on over indulged white men who name drop about parties, house visits and what coffee they have ordered within their day of nepotistic socialising, I find confirmation within this podcast that, yep, it is. Thanks for the confirmation and for the motivation to inspire change. Three stars for inspiring motivation to find something other than this.
Insufferable
These are the two most obnoxious humans I’ve ever listened to.
Seemed like a parody
But then I realized that it wasn’t. Sincere would also be incorrect. Deeply out of touch, asking mostly the wrong questions, and somehow of the year 2002, in very un-joyful ways. Good luck guys!
