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.

The visit was very well organized. Everyone gathered on time in one place, the guide took us to the entrance, we got in quickly without queuing, and picked up audio guides. The museums are amazing, the beauty is indescribable! A touch of eternity and centuries-old Italian culture! Of course, the Sistine Chapel is simply a revelation! And I also really liked how clean the restrooms were, which is also very important with such a large crowd of people! A very good experience visiting the Vatican!

Unfortunately my trip came to an end, fortunately though, the last part of my trip towards the airfield was very relaxed. Not crowded, or in any case, didn't feel like it might have been. Because people were helpfull, friendly and the signs directed us passengers, perfectly to the right train at the right time. As a matter of fact, it went so well, that because I was early, I could even change my trainride to an earlier and yet more convenient time, which saved me 30 minutes, which mad the flight and checkin at the airport also much more pleasant. Seats were great, long legs no problem. Room enough for suitcases and the rails were almost quiet.
