Overview

Enjoy a 2-hour visit discovering amazing masterpieces home to the Borghese Gallery. You will meet your Tour Guide in front of the Gallery, receive headsets to listen clearly, and enter with skip-the-line entrance tickets. Your visit will start on the ground floor where you will get the chance to visit Bernini's famous " Rape of Proserpina" and learn about the latin myth behind this amazing masterpiece. Your visit will continue by discovering other famous masterpieces created by Bernini such as " Apollo & Daphne" and " David".

Your journey will then continue to the first floor where your Tour Guide will show you acclaimed paintings made by Raphael and Caravaggio, such as the " Young sick Bacchus" and " Boy with a basket of fruit". Not only will the statues and paintings leave you astonished, but the Gallery itself is beautifully adorned with gold crown mouldings and frescoes covering entirely the ceilings.
