Galleria Borghese, Rome

Galleria BorgheseThe Borghese Gallery in Rome is a state museum housed in the Villa Borghese. The villa was built (1613-15) for Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1576-

1633), nephew of Pope Paul V (Camillo Borghese, 1552-1621), and their collections of paintings and sculpture form the nucleus of the museum.

Scipione was Bernini's first important patron, and the Gallery has an unrivalled representation of the sculptor's early work, including two busts of Scipione.

The collection of paintings includes outstanding works by Caravaggio (Scipione was an early admirer), Raphael, and Titian. The Borghese collection was one of the few

Roman patrician collections not dispersed in the 18th century. The villa and its contents were acquired by the Italian government from the Borghese family in 1902.
