Overview of your Rome tour:

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.

Water, sunscreen and a hat are recommended in summer, as are warm layers in winter. Comfortable shoes are always advised.
