GUIDED TOUR TO THE GALLERIA BORGHESE

At the appointed time, we will meet with our guide at the main entrance of the Borghese Gallery to begin our visit to one of the most famous museums in the Eternal City. Here, we will be able to admire masterpieces by great Italian artists such as Bernini, Canova, Caravaggio, and Titian, among others.

The Villa was the home of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, and many of the artworks preserved there were commissioned by the cardinal himself, known for his passion for the arts. We will stroll through the luxurious rooms of the villa and admire the pioneering masterpieces in their original setting, just as the artists intended them to be seen.

With a special gift for recognizing beauty, the cardinal amassed an impressive collection of masterpieces, from Caravaggio's early works to Gian Lorenzo Bernini's "Apollo and Daphne," Antonio Canova's portrait of "Paulina Bonaparte," and Raphael's "Transfiguration of Christ." We will explore the collection in the company of an expert and professional guide to make the most of the visit and fully appreciate the tranquil atmosphere that reigns in this incredible gallery.

Greca Tip: In addition to the Borghese Gallery, there are other interesting buildings and monuments to explore in Villa Borghese, such as the Temple of Aesculapius, the House of Cinema, and the Pietro Canonica Museum.
