Among the wonders you can see in Rome, the Borghese Gallery holds a special place. This museum houses the personal collection of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Pope Paul V's nephew, a preeminent personality in his time, with a great passion for art and with the means to accomplish his projects.
The Borghese Gallery has maintained its prestige and
its works of art are exposed today as they were in the past: furniture,
paintings and sculptures. Among the gallery's paintings we will see
Titian's "Sacred and Profane Love", Raphael's "The Deposition" and "Young
Woman with Unicorn", Caravaggio's "Madonna and Child with St. Anne" (Dei
Palafrenieri) and "Saint Jerome Writing". We will admire sculptures such
as Bernini's "The Rape of Proserpina" and "Apollo and Daphne" and
Canova's "Pauline Bonaparte". In other words, don't pass up this once in a
lifetime opportunity to admire such masterpieces, for which we must be
thankful to Cardinal Scipione Borghese's foresight. The visit include : Borghese Gallery collection with pieces by artists such as Titian, Raphael Rubens, Caravaggio, Bernini, Canova.
