Comment

In the 17th century, Rome became the world capital of Baroque, masterfully interpreted by Gian Lorenzo
Bernini, who “dressed up” the city with his masterpieces. His sculpture representing the metamorphosis
of Daphne in a laurel tree is one of the most extraordinary icons of Baroque art, echoed by details of the imposing facade of the Galleria Borghese and of the decorations that adorned the Fontana dei Mascheroni e Tritoni in the Giardino del Lago of Villa Borghese.
