The Galleria Borghese Museum is located in Villa Borghese in Rome and houses one of the most famous art collections in the world.

The collection of works at the Galleria Borghese Museum is the result of the activity of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, who is also responsible for the construction of the villa itself. At the end of the 16th century, the Borghese, a wealthy family from Siena, acquired land outside Rome near Porta Pinciana and began building a villa in its park in 1607. Scipione Borghese, a passionate collector and patron, during the 17th century, formed one of the largest collections of Italian art, which formed the original nucleus of the collection now visible at the Museum.

Galleria Borghese houses a collection of ancient sculptures, bas-reliefs, and mosaics, as well as paintings and sculptures from the 15th to the 19th century. Among the masterpieces of the collection are works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Correggio, Antonello da Messina, Giovanni Bellini, and sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Canova.

The collection can be considered unique in the world in terms of the number and importance of the Bernini sculptures and the Caravaggio paintings present here. The works are displayed in the 20 frescoed rooms which, together with the portico and the entrance hall, constitute the Museum's public spaces.
