After greeting your guide at Villa Corsini — a prominent part of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica — you’ll embark on a tour of the museum’s masterpieces.

As you listen to history-rich commentary, you’ll behold pieces by masters such as Caravaggio and Guido Reni. Gaze at the unsettling depiction of ‘Salome with the Head of John the Baptist’, delight in the colorful tableau of Fra Angelico's ‘Corsini Triptyc’ and admire works by Rubens, Poussin and Van Dyck.

Additionally, you’ll learn about Villa Corsini’s rich history: discover how the prosperous Corsini family acquired such a prestigious collection of art and their special connection to the Pope.

After a 1-hour tour, bid your guide farewell and continue exploring Rome independently.
