Tour Itinerary
The Borghese Gallery
Sitting in Rome's most popular gardens, you'll find the beautiful Villa Borghese. Designed by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, a nephew of the pope, to serve as the family's mansion in the 17th century.
1
The Gallery
Within Rome’s incredible white house your local guide will show you one of the most impressive art galleries Italy has to offer.
2
Raphael
First you'll be introduced to pieces which formed the foundation of this collection. Acquired by Cardinal Borghese are Raphael's 'Deposition of Christ' and works by Correggio, Dossi & Veronese.
3
Renaissance Masters
During your Borghese Gallery Guided Tour, you'll be shown one of the most mysterious and celebrated paintings ever, 'The Sacred and Profane Love' by Titian!
4
Bernini
Ever seen a statue carved by an 11-year-old? This is supposedly how old Gian Lorenzo Bernini was when he performed his first work for the Borghese Cardinal!
5
The Rape of Proserpina
At the age of 25 Bernini was already established as one of the greatest artist ever, and works like this, besides telling an incredible story, earn him the nickname "Michelangelo of Baroque"!
6
Apollo and Daphne
The Ancient Roman poet Virgil spoke about it as a "Metamorphosis", but it's difficult to capture the essence of this mythical story like Bernini has in this sculpture!
7
Caravaggio
Your expert guide will tell you the stories surrounding the turbulent life and everlasting legacy of Caravaggio, in a room almost entirely dedicated to the Italian genius’s paintings!
8
David with the Head of Goliath
400 years ago, this would be the equivalent of a horror movie. In this brilliant painting, Caravaggio brings us one of the most stunning portrayals of the Biblical story!
9
Canova's "Paolina Bonaparte"
Portrayed as the Goddess Aphrodite, Napoleon's little sister posed nude for the artist and raised a lot of gossip stories at the time.
10
Borghese Gardens
Once your Borghese Gallery Tour has come to an end, you can explore the beautiful Villa Borghese gardens. The perfect place for a tranquil stroll and time to reflect on the masterpieces you've seen.
