URBEN

Situated in the green of the favorite public park by the Romans, the Borghese Gallery is a true treasure trove of art treasures, the fruit of the art of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who in early 1600 he built the villa in which to put his own collection. Bear in mind that the Borghese Gallery was founded as a private collection and that the works and their arrangement is not didactic criteria (time, subject), but rather reflect the taste and intentions of its former owners. Miss the series of sculptures made for the cardinal by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Aeneas, The Abduction of Proserpine, Apollo and Daphne, and David), who seem to invite us to participate in their events, the Sacred and Profane Love by Titian, masterpieces by Caravaggio and the lovely Princess Pauline Borghese, Napoleon’s favorite sister, portrayed by Canova as Venus Victrix.
