Everywhere you go, there is amazing architecture, and statues. Museums seem to be dotting the city every kilometer. I got very luck! I met a gentleman from France who was originally making his trip to Rome with a friend. His friend canceled, so he had an extra ticket/reservation for the Borghese Gallery. (it turns out the only way to get into the Borghese Gallery is to set a reservation well in advance) The Borgehese Gallery houses a collection of art that could rival the Vatican. It houses many pieces by Bernini, Raphael, Titan, Carvaggio, and many more. It art is something you enjoy, this is a must see!
My favorite piece in the Gallery was by Bernini. It was titled "Apollo and Daphne." Since no cameras were allowed in the museum, you will have to settle for a photo from the Gallery's own website.Below is the web link to see the statue and the description of it. Enjoy
