Borghese Gallery Semi-Private Tour

Tour Time:	Tues-Sun 09.00 am	Max Group Size:	8	Distance covered:	2 miles approx
Tour Duration:	4 hours	Tour Type:	Walking	Difficulty:	Moderate - steps

See the greatest masterpieces of:
Raphael, Bernini, Caravaggio, Titian, Lanfrano, Domenichino, Bellini, Coreggio, Peter Paul Rubens
and many, many more ...

On this tour, in addition to the wonders of the Villa Borghese, we take the opportunity to take our small group inside the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo. Here, we whet the appetite for the Borghese Gallery, as this church is sumptuously decorated with works of the very greatest Renaissance and Baroque masters.

The highlights of this visit are Caravaggio's Conversion of St. Paul and Cruxifixion of St. Peter, and Bernini's sculpturesHabakkuk and the Angel and Daniel and the Lion.

In addition to Caravaggio and other artist's works in the various chapels of this unique church, there are several burial chapels, purchased by the wealthiest and most powerful families in 16th and 17th-century Rome, who commissioned great artists to design and decorate their tombs. The most famous chapel here, familiar to Dan Brown readers, is the Chigi Chapel, designed by Raphael and decorated by Bernini - the first "Altar of Science" in Angels and Demons!
