A visit to the Galleria Borghese, which houses four of Bernini's best statues, but which unfortunately does not permit photos inside. But still, the grounds are lovely!
The villa itself was built for Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the 1610s as a pleasure palace to escape the crowds and heat of Rome during the summer
I love the moss that has overtaken the base of this statue
Luckily there are no rules against taking pictures of the inside from the outside! Here you can glimpse Bernini's fabulous Rape of Persephone.
