What To Expect
The Borghese Gallery has the most impressive collection of art in Rome.
The greatest masters: Bernini, Raphael, Titian and Caravaggio are here. With the help of your guide you will understand the secrets of Bernini’s sculpture, who worked marble to the point of transparency; understand the symbolism of Titian’s art; the amazing novelty of Raphael’s compositions and the tragic events of Caravaggio’s life reflected in his works. An art historian knowledgable with the villa’s history and art content which dates back to 16C. Cardinal Scipione Borghese, will explain its greatness. Admire several statues by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, including Apollo and Daphne, David and Proserpine, a Canova sculpture of Pauline Bonaparte, Caravaggio, Titian, and Raphael before leaving the gallery to walk down to Piazza del Popolo. Head inside Santa Maria del Popolo to see 2 of Caravaggio’s famous works, the Crucifixion of St Peter and Conversion on the Way to Damascus. Enjoy this amazing tour.
