Borghese Gallery and Museum

A lavish Roman villa where masterpieces by Bernini and Caravaggio still live today in the very rooms for which they were created.

The Borghese Gallery offers a unique experience, in which the art and its container are inseparable. It is world-renowned for its unparalleled core of sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, including 'Apollo and Daphne' and 'The Rape of Proserpina', works that explode with life and movement and were commissioned to be admired in these exact spaces. These are complemented by a series of fundamental masterpieces by Caravaggio and pivotal works by Raphael and Titian, in an ensemble of breathtaking coherence and quality.
