The event includes wine tasting and dedicated art content. Indeed, on Sunday, May 4, it will be possible to visit, guided by an art historian, the Casino that Cardinal Scipione Borghese had built on the ruins of the Baths of Constantine in the early 17th century by Flemish architect Jan van Santen, known in Italy as Giovanni Vasanzio. Inside you will be able to admire Guido Reni’s Aurora, a fresco that gives the palace its name and fame and is considered one of the pinnacles of European painting, among the most copied works in art history. Also of enormous significance is the facade of the Casino decorated with marble reliefs from slabs of Roman sarcophagi from the 2ndand 3rdcenturies CE, some of which are from the Dionysian cycle, including the famous Triumph of Dionysus. Another wonder is the Scala della Pastorella, double ramp access to the roof garden. Finally, present are some paintings from the extraordinary Pallavicini Collection, which combines works by Guido Reni with those of Luca Giordano.
