The gallery once housed masterpieces stolen by Napoleon from conquered cities. While most were returned, a few, like Canova's 'Pauline Bonaparte', remain as reminders of the gallery's turbulent past.

Pin

It is believed that Caravaggio gifted the painting 'David with the Head of Goliath' to Pope Paul V. It was an act of pardon for killing a man in a barfight and absconding for some years.

Pin

The Borghese Gallery has a third floor which is a storeroom containing over 260 paintings that could not find space in the Gallery.

In 2020, a tourist broke the toes of 'Pauline Borghese as Venus Victrix' by sitting on the statue for a selfie.

Not bad. A bit disorganized to catch the stops. Some connectors for the headphones did not work well or the language does not correspond to the channel. Another detail is that at the top of the bus you can't hear when the stops are indicated. It should interrupt the narration to indicate the stops.
