Discover the exquisite treasures of the Borghese Gallery on an intimate private tour, surrounded by iconic sculptures by Bernini and masterworks by Caravaggio and Raphael.
The Tour
Step inside one of the world’s most captivating art sanctuaries on an exclusive private visit to the Borghese Gallery. Your personal expert guide meets you directly at your hotel to escort you to this magnificent seventeenth-century villa, originally conceived as a pleasure palace to showcase the breathtaking private collection of Cardinal Scipione Borghese.
As you wander through the sumptuously decorated salons, history and emotion come alive before your eyes. You will marvel at the lifelike marble masterpieces of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, where stone seems magically transformed into supple skin and fluttering drapery. Your guide will illuminate the turbulent genius of Caravaggio through his most famous dramatic canvases, while pointing out celebrated works by Raphael, Botticelli, and Titian. Throughout the visit, you will uncover the fascinating rise of the Borghese family, whose passionate patronage helped define the golden age of Baroque Rome.
