Galleria Borghese

About

The Galleria Borghese, set in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana on Piazza del Museo Borghese 5, is a treasure trove of Italian art from the Renaissance to the Baroque. It showcases masterpieces by Caravaggio, Bernini, Canova, Raphael and Titian, among others, housed in a series of 12 (now 14) thematic rooms that reflect the original design of the villa’s owners. The museum’s intimate scale allows visitors to experience the works in their intended settings—Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne, Caravaggio’s Boy with a Basket of Fruit, and an impressive marble collection—making it a must‑visit for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
