Immerse yourself in this unique collection curated by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, and witness the perfect marriage of content and container within the exquisite Villa Borghese. Marvel at the brilliance of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's first marble groups, which catapulted him to artistic fame. Rarely in the history of art has the relationship between a patron and an artist been as fruitful as that between the young Gianlorenzo and the powerful cardinal. These breathtaking sculptures will amaze you with their intricate detail and emotional depth. You will also discover the gallery's extensive collection of paintings, which will take you on a captivating journey through art history. We'll pay particular attention to the works of Caravaggio, who captured dramatic moments in his characteristic chiaroscuro style. His oil paintings wonderfully illustrate the power of light and shadow and create an intense visual experience that has had a decisive influence on Italian art.
in the Villa, we will visit the ground level and piano nobile. Some of the masterpieces you will see: • Bernini - David; • Bernini - Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius Fleeing Troy; • Bernini - Pluto and Persephone; • Bernini - Apollo and Daphne; • Canova - Paolina Bonaparte; • Caravaggio Room; • Titian - Profane and Sacred Love; • Raphael - Deposition. Important: Weather - I run tours rain or shine, and most of my itineraries take place entirely or partially outside. Water, sunscreen and a hat are recommended in summer, as are warm layers in winter. Comfortable shoes are always advised.
