Description

Step into the Borghese Gallery with a passionate art historian and explore one of Rome’s most exquisite collections. With skip-the-line access, avoid the crowds and dive straight into a world of sculpture, painting, and Baroque beauty. Begin outside the grand 17th-century villa and hear the story of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the visionary behind this treasure-filled space. Then, walk through richly decorated halls where art, architecture, and history come alive. Admire Bernini’s dynamic sculptures, like Apollo and Daphne, full of emotion and movement. In the Caravaggio room, feel the intensity of David with the Head of Goliath and Boy with a Basket of Fruit—paintings that speak through light, shadow, and bold expression. You’ll also encounter Raphael’s serene works, Roman mosaics, and pieces by Titian, Canova, and more. Unlike crowded museums, the Borghese Gallery offers an intimate setting where every masterpiece gets the attention it deserves. Your guide’s insights turn each room into a story, weaving together art, history, and the fascinating lives behind the canvas. This is more than a museum visit—it’s a journey through genius in the heart of Rome.
