Visual, powerful and evocative, Racconti di luce. Un viaggio immersivo nella storia della Galleria Borghese (Tales of light. An immersive journey through the history of the Borghese Gallery) is the story in images that unfolds on the façade of the splendid Gallery, to interweaving history, art and technology to celebrate its identity and evolution and restore its unprecedented aspects.
An extraordinary and immersive journey into the history of one of the most iconic places of Italian art, the exclusive videomapping that illuminates the rear façade of the Galleria Borghese brings to light centuries of history, art and transformations that have made this place one of the most popular cultural destinations in the world.
The shows will be screened from 11 July until 11 October 2025, Fridays and Saturdays, from 9.15 p.m., with several replicas per evening, with a dedicated ticket and a set-up designed to allow you to watch the show from the seats that will be set up in the Villa Borghese garden.
Through a spectacular artistic projection, the Galleria Borghese is transformed into a living, pulsating screen, retracing in chronological order the fundamental stages of its birth and development: from the purchase of the land outside the walls by Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the 17th century, to the construction of the villa as an ideal space to house an unparalleled collection, up to the many historical events, architectural projects, transformations of the gardens and the layouts that have followed one another over the centuries.
The images, accompanied by an original soundtrack and evocative narration, guide you along a path that is both intimate and monumental, made up of visions, restorations, masterpieces and the transformation of places, from the past to the present.
Racconti di luce is not only a tribute to the memory of an extraordinary place, but also a bridge between the past and the present, between the solidity of cultural heritage and the innovation of contemporary visual language.
Booking is compulsory while places last on the museum's official website.
The show is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish and LIS (Italian sign language).
