The reopening of the Borghese Gallery to the public is one of the most significant artistic events of recent years.
This museum hosts the personal collection of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, an eminent personality of his time, with a great passion for art and the means to realize his projects, as you will discover during the Borghese Gallery Tour.
The Gallery is nestled in the most beautiful park in Rome, near the historic center of the city. It has retained its prestige, and its artworks are displayed today as they were in the past: furniture, paintings, and sculptures.
One of the richest and most fascinating villas in Rome, the Borghese Gallery hosts a vast and diverse collection of sculptures and paintings by masters such as Bernini, Canova, Caravaggio, and Titian.
Your guide during the Borghese Gallery Tour will lead you through the gallery rooms, revealing the secrets, stories, and techniques behind the masterpieces.
Among the paintings, you’ll see Titian’s “Sacred and Profane Love,” Raphael’s “The Deposition” and “Young Woman with Unicorn,” and Caravaggio’s “Madonna and Child with St. Anne” (The Palafrenieri) and “Saint Jerome Writing.”
You will also admire Bernini’s sculptures like “The Rape of Proserpina” and “Apollo and Daphne,” as well as Canova’s “Pauline Bonaparte.”
In other words, with the Borghese Gallery Tour, don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to admire such masterpieces, thanks to the foresight of Cardinal Scipione Borghese.
