The Borghese gallery is phenomenal. The Bernini sculptures there are one of the few times I've been genuinely moved by something in a museum.

- UncleOxidant 4y agoI remember a friend raving about the Borghese gallery and thinking ok, I'll check it out. You get there and it seems kind of small compared to, say, The Uffizi. But don't let that fool you it's jam packed with amazing Bernini sculptures. Give your self plenty of time to look at Apollo and Daphne up close and be amazed at those marble leaves that her fingers are turning into - they're so thin you can see light through them.
