| Page Views: 364 Last Visit to Rome: 1997 | The Borghese Gallery & Park by paulapes - last update: May 15, 2001 |
Restoration on the Borghese Gallery took 14 years to complete. The Gallery opened in early Fall of 1997, about a month before my sister and I were there. Here are some pictures from our Guidebook (we were not allowed to take pictures inside the Gallery, of course). This first picture is a 1636 portrait of the Villa Borghese, when it was the Borghese home. |
Pauline Bonaparte, by Antonio Canova 1805-1808. This was my favorite. |
Apollo and Daphne, by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1622-1625. The Bernini sculptures were so beautiful! |
The Borghese Park (just a tiny portion!) |
