The history of Galleria Borghese
 David with the head of Goliath (Caravaggio) Galleria Borghese, conceived and designed together with the immense and magnificent
park at the beginning of 1605, was ordered by Cardinal Scipione
Borghese, descendant of Pope Paul III who, elected in 1534,
he at least had the merit of forcing Michelangelo to finish him
frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. The Farnese family in fact
belonged to that small group of families who during
the Renaissance and the Baroque period participated both as politicians
both as patrons of the arts and the social life of Rome.
Scipione Borghese commissioned some works by the young sculptor
Bernini who responded with some of his greatest masterpieces
such as Apollo and Daphne and the Rape of Proserpine.
Today the Borghese Gallery preserves a cultural itinerary inside it
able to reveal to the visitor new keys to understanding the
post-Renaissance and mannerist period of the capital.
On the ground floor, in addition to the already mentioned sculptures, they are
housed some paintings by Caravaggio (Sick Bacchino, Boy with a Basket of Fruit, Madonna dei Palafreneri, San Gerolamo) . On the upper floor there are works by
Titian, Caravaggio, Antonella da Messina, Lorenzo Lotto, Rubens
and Raphael.
In 1807 Camillo Borghese sold the large part goes to Napoleon
of his private collection which is currently on display exposed
at the Louvre Museum.
