In the 16th century, Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the Pope’s nephew, built a villa specifically to house his private art collection, one of the greatest of its time. Bought by the Italian government in 1902, this wonderfully rich collection brings together masterpieces signed by the greatest of artists. You will find one of the copies of Leda and the Swan by da Vinci as well as Caravaggio’s David. Enjoy your visit!
