Description
A Borghese Gallery guided tour in English lets you hear the stories behind one of Rome's most prestigious art collections. Up to 15 people follow a licensed local guide through the Villa Borghese Pinciana, with skip-the-line entry so you are inside without the wait.
The tour spends time with the big names. Among the paintings are Caravaggio's powerful works, including Young Sick Bacchus, and the guide talks about his dramatic style and unconventional life. Among the sculptures are Bernini's David and Apollo and Daphne, explained clearly so you notice the details. You will also meet Canova's refined Paolina Borghese, see works by Raphael, and walk through villa rooms decorated with frescoes and ornate interiors.
