Fueled by Italian food, we’ll head to our last stop, perhaps the most famous private art collection in Italy: the Borghese Gallery. Originally built as a suburban villa on the outskirts of the city, this gallery showcases a significant portion of Cardinal Borghese’s art selection, including masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, Bernini, and Caravaggio. In around two hours, we’ll cover the most important works and explore the relationships between art, society, and politics in 17th-century Rome.
