    Villa Borghese is a sprawling landscape garden in Rome, encompassing 80 hectares and serving as the city's third largest public park. Originally developed for the Villa Borghese Pinciana in the early 17th century by architect Flaminio Ponzio under the commission of Scipione Borghese, the estate was intended as a suburban villa to showcase his extensive art collection. The gardens were extensively redesigned in the late 18th century, offering visitors a serene escape with various buildings, museums, and attractions, including the renowned Galleria Borghese, showcasing masterpieces by artists like Caravaggio and Bernini.
