As one guest put it, “A feast for the eyes! The art collection is second only to the Vatican, and the fact that it’s still family-owned makes it so much more personal.”

Marvel at Bernini’s sculptural genius on the Private Borghese Gallery Tour, home to Apollo and Daphne, The Rape of Proserpina, and countless masterpieces in an intimate setting.
