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
You'll first 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 Boghese 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 GianLorenzo Bernini was when he performed his first work for the Borghese Cardinal!
5
The Rape of Proserpina
At the age of 25 Bernini is already established as one of the greatest artist ever, and works like this, besides telling an incredible story, will earn him a nick-name "Michelangelo of Baroque"!
6
Apollo And Daphne
Ancient Roman poet Virgil spoke about it his "Metamorphosis", but it's hard to capture the essence of this mythical story like Bernini.
7
Caravaggio
Your expert guide will tell you the stories surrounding the turbulent life and everlasting legacy of Caravaggio in a room 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. 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 private guided tour of the Borghese Galleries has come to an end, you can explore the gardens. The perfect place for a tranquil stroll and time to reflect on the masterpieces you've seen.
