The Borghese Mondays. Guided Tour at the National Galleries of Ancient Art – Corsini Gallery
July 15th
The Corsini Gallery represents a jewel of 18th-century art, exclusively hosting works from the Corsini collection. The palace, acquired by the family in 1736 during the pontificate of Clement XII Corsini, still preserves the original setting where the works were placed by Cardinal Neri Maria Corsini himself, as documented in the 1771 inventory of the rooms. The building, transformed into a veritable royal residence by the architect Ferdinando Fuga, already boasted illustrious guests in the 17th century, such as Queen Christina of Sweden.
