It contains masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael and the sublime Antonello da Messina, among others. Even if you know nothing about art history the surroundings and beauty of the rooms (in the Casino, or summerhouse of the Villa Borghese) cannot fail to impress. A word of warning, you cannot just hope to turn up; you need to book in advance, either by turning up and queueing to do so or by ringing : 02 32810. Best to book well in advance. Last time I went I booked a month ahead before I even got to Rome so I had a better choice of dates and times.close
