You will have the privilege to admire Bernini's sculptures, Caravaggio's paintings, Raphael and Titian's canvases guided by a true roman art historian and licensed guide.

  • Galleria Borghese, Rome, Italy
    The Galleria Borghese is the astonishing expression of the roman civilization and grandeur. This tour will let you admire ancient Roman, renaissance, baroque and modern artworks all in one place: the marvelous Galleria! Admire a 16th century collection of original sculptures and paintings. Cardinal Scipione was a collector of many works of ancient, Renaissance and contemporary art. He acquired ancient sculptures and promoted the creation of new ones, especially marble groups, to rival ancient works. You'll see the statue of Pauline Bonaparte, sculpted by Canova reclined upon a sumptuous couch. You’ll admire Cardinal Scipione's collection of paintings that consists today of hundreds of canvases including Caravaggio's "Boy with a Basket of Fruit" and "David with the Head of Goliath", Raphael's "Deposition", Titian's "Sacred and Profane Love" works, and dozens of statues both by contemporary artists of that century like Bernini and ancient Roman sculptures. This collection is not only a way to learn about Roman art history but is a time-travel through love, art, passion, power, wealth and aristocracy. The world famous "Apollo and Daphne" by Gianlorenzo Bernini will come alive in front of your eyes, see how this genius was able to capture the moment in which the nymph Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree… At the end of the tour you have the opportunity to walk in the same beautiful landscaped park just as Cardinal Scipione, only 5 centuries later! Please know that entrance fees are not included.

    This was our third tour with Joy of Rome and second with Francesca. She has a gift for bringing the stories behind the artworks to life and sharing her enthusiasm. Highly recommended. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Rome and will certainly include another tour with Joy of Rome.

    Francesca was extremely knowledgeable. She has great enthusiasm for the art, artists, the gallery and helping us learn. She answered our questions and welcomed them. It deepened my experience immensely. I am still thinking about the major pieces - one which made me cry. While an art historian private guide may seem pricey, I would trade the cost for visiting another museum or two or a fancy dinner.
