A journey inside the ancient Villa of Cardinal Scipione Borghese that commissioned the architect Flaminio Ponzio a series of luxurious, elegant and bright environments intended to host his rich collection of paintings from the XV to the XVIII century, as well as sculptures, bas-reliefs and antique mosaics.
Works of art that will leave you breathless, housed within this wonderful frame, and illustrated by the explanation of an expert guide that will tell you the history, the stylistic features and the hidden meanings of the main masterpieces.
From the expressive power of Bernini's sculptures such as Apollo and Daphne and his David, to the refinement of the portrait of Paolina Bonaparte realized by Canova; from the elegance of Titian's paintings (Sacred and Profane Love) to the Caravaggio's thick brushstrokes (Young Sick Bacchus and Madonna and Child with St. Anne), a small journey surrounded by immortal works of art.
