Entrance
This was my second time in Villa Borghese and I was amazed again! Not to forget Caravaggios & Berninis in the museum. Normally you need to reserve a slot before you go, it seemed fully booked on the internet however we tried our chance and took the place of some people who did not come. Every room of this museum is worth to see… Not only the collection but the museum itself has many wonderful ceiling paintings!.
