Prepare to be captivated by the raw emotion and dramatic narratives frozen in marble as you encounter Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Baroque masterpieces. "Apollo and Daphne," "David," and "The Rape of Proserpina" are not just sculptures; they are stories carved by a master storyteller.
The Galleria Borghese doesn't just house paintings; it's a sanctuary where the canvas speaks. Caravaggio's "David with the Head of Goliath" showcases a stark interplay of light and shadow.
