One of the most important collections in Rome. Among the great names presented: Titian, Veronese or Caravaggio. Just that!

Housed in a beautiful seventeenth-century mansion, built to house its collections, the Borghese Gallery is one of the most important in Rome. Intended by Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1579-1633), its collections suffered a disastrous amputation in 1807 when 154 statues, 160 busts, 170 bas-reliefs and 30 columns were sold to Napoleon by Camille Borghese, husband of Pauline Bonaparte.

Because of the short visit time (2 hours), we suggest you to do the visit in reverse: go directly to the2nd floor and start with the XX room.

Room XX. Sacred Love and Profane Love and Saint Dominic by Titian, Portrait of a Man by Antonello Da Messina, Sacred Conversation with Saint Barbara and Saint Justina and Two Faithful by Palma il Vecchio, Madonna and Child by Giovanni Bellini, Sermon of Baptist by Veronese.
