Here, we shall be captivated by a curated collection that boasts the grandest assembly of Raphael’s works, complemented by the masterpieces of eminent Italian artists like Titian, Caravaggio, and the celebrated female artist of yore, Artemisia Gentileschi. Uniquely set in a sumptuous period ambience, this gallery distinguishes itself from the modern norm. Traverse from hall to hall, where renowned masterpieces await your gaze, set amidst exquisite 17th-century furnishings. This ensemble encompasses tables with semi-precious stone inlays, ornate vases, and awe-inspiring stuccoed and frescoed ceilings.
