In 1605 the cardinal Camillo Borghese is elected Pope with the name Paul V and his cardinal-nephew Scipione puts together an incredibly rich art colletion with ancient and contemporary masterpieces, sometimes even using his power to obtain them as it happened with Raphael's Deposition. You will marvel and forget about Rome's chaotic traffic and crowds while in here. This is a two-hour guided tour inside one of the most spectacular art collections in the world, a two-storey Renassaince Palace containing Bernini's sculpures, Canova's Paolina Bonaparte, several Caravaggios, Titian, Raphael and much more. The Palace stayed in the hands of the Borghese family for about four centuries up until 1902 when, due to their bad economical situation, they had to sell everything to the Italian State which turned it into a museum. The Gallery is surrounded by Rome's most beautiful park, once the gardens of the family just outside the ancient city wall and a guided walk through the park is added to the museum tour to show you its charm and its best panoramic view over the Capital of Italy
