Xavier Salomon, the curator of the Dulwich Picture Gallery, talks to Yang-May Ooi on Fusion View, the cross-cultural blog on writing, culture and the arts at www.fusionview.co.uk, about his pan-European roots and Canaletto's 18th century fusion art. Canaletto, a Venetian, came to England in 1746 and stayed for 10 years, painting scenes of English life with his Italian eye. Xavier talks about what Canaletto might have seen in the England of his time and also about his own experiences of Italian art, growing up in Rome and living in New York and London.
