Abstract

Federico Quaranta and Nicola Prudente talk with the magician Heldin. They invite us to discover the Borghese Gallery, located on the Pincio, a hill in Rome. The Villa Borghese was built by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, the nephew of Pope Paul V, in the early seventeenth century. As he was an art lover, he was the first to realize the incredible talent of the artists Caravaggio and Bernini . The family's collection continues to grow. In the early nineteenth century, the "Venus Victrix" Canova which represents Pauline Borghese was the last work integrated in the collections. Views of the museum collections and gardens surrounding the Villa: paintings by Caravaggio, sculptures by Bernini. Comments of Anna Coliva, director of the Gallery.
