Una mostra realizzata con la Galleria Borghese di Roma e con la partecipazione e la collaborazione di prestigiose istituzioni e musei nazionali e internazionali. Barocco Globale ci accompagna in un viaggio attraverso una Roma cosmopolita, al centro di una complessa rete di viaggi e rapporti che trascendono confini nazionali e culturali. L’Africa, l’America, l’Asia erano presenze tangibili e visibili nella Roma di questa epoca; opere d’arte di maestri del Barocco come Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Pietro da Cortona, Nicolas Poussin, ci proiettano in un mondo sorprendentemente multietnico e multiculturale, in cui missionari e diplomatici mettevano in dialogo, alla corte dei Papi, il Giappone con la Persia, il Congo col Nuovo Mondo.

From November 21, 2025, the Museum of Rome at Palazzo Braschi will open the exhibition Villas and Gardens of Rome: A Crown of Delights, a journey through five centuries of history and imagination that recounts the evolution of Rome's historic gardens, from Renaissance architecture to the transformations of the 20th century. The richness of the nearly 190 works on display, many of which are little known or unpublished, offers the public the opportunity to get closer to places that have often disappeared or changed profoundly, revealing their original appearance and social function. The itinerary, divided into six sections and enriched with multimedia and immersive features, allows visitors to understand how the city's villas and gardens have been spaces of representation, creativity, leisure, and gathering over time. A text from our bibliographic heritage is also on display!
