I'm sad to this day about the World's loss of Gianni Versace. I loved his fashion & loved the super models I tried to copy that were at their peak in his era: Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista. How beautiful are the decorations of Casa Casuarina, especially all the mosaic & statues. ❤🌸💐🌸

[@hrhplease9119]

Wow, completely breathtaking.

[@switchbackimage5966]

This was awesome please, Scott and friends, more of these kinds of people too. 😀 their creative ideas are impacting to all. Brilliant minds are important to learn from and beyond anything we can do personally as this is a miracle of imagination. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@hrhplease9119]

Awesome video! Thanks again 🥰👍🏻💯

[@amarsimha33]

Wow. Great narration. Beautiful voice

[@lesliecioci]

I viewed this a bit ago. I have no words to convey the magnificence, especially the mosaics. I feel fortunate to be seeing your works Scott. While I like books and photos, this media form brings it all to life for me. Thank you.

[@cherylereed7402]

This documentary is absolutely incredible. After watching I have a more complete appreciation of architecture and the beauty of this residence. Mr. Freeman was definitely a visionary ahead of his time and then what Gianni Versace added/ created is beyond my imagination. While watching I became lost in the details that were amazing. Beautiful tribute to Versace. Thank you Scott for sharing and educating. I always learn something new!

This must be the most beautiful home I've ever set eyes on 💖 As a fan of everything mystical, ancient. The stained window's, the dining hall with its details, the swimming pool,oh and I could go on an on...I'm not particularly versed in architecture but indeed fascinated by such a jewel of a home. I also always had a special place for Medusa in my heart 🐍

I never expected that a documentary on a house would be tears to my eyes..!! This is what life is like for someone who "See's Beauty in EVERYTHING"...😍

[@StrangeHistoryX]

I am so glad you enjoyed it. I stated there several times and sometimes had the entire place to myself. It was amazing.

[@scorpio_moon]

Amazing!

[@switchbackimage5966]

Thanks! PLEASE add more of these types of homes, where we could never actually visit but are beyond homes but a time capsule of imagination and luxury out of reach of any museum or conservationist. This was absolutely wonderful. I enjoy Scott & Co. And their great experiences of historic homes. The gs which we can only experience online. Excellent work.

[@StrangeHistoryX]

Yes. Great idea. Thank you.

If anything could be described as; "So Gay", this would be it.
