If you only
have time for one art gallery in Rome, make it this one.
Housing what's often
referred to as the ‘queen of all private art collections’, it boasts paintings
by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, plus sensational sculptures by Bernini.
Highlights abound, but look for Bernini's Ratto di Proserpina (Rape
of Proserpina) and Canova's Venere vincitrice (Venus Victrix).
To limit
numbers, visitors are admitted at two-hourly intervals – you'll need to
pre-book tickets well in advance and get an entry time.
