Bernini at the Borghese

I would love to visit the Borghese, filled with Berninis wonderful sculptures, while on my trip. So I have been looking into opening times etc...
It may be possible to purchase tickets online before leaving and visit the Borghese the afternoon we arrive, as we will land in Rome at 10.25am.
Of course, Caffe Greco is also on my list of wishes...the oldest cafe in town dating from 1760. My research shows that this is in the same area as the Borghese (approx 22 min walk/12 min by car) so, again, it seems like a real possibility. Ooooh!

Three Artists And Two Daffodils

The last two pages in my 2008-2009 A6 Venezia journal remember three wonderful artists, Tony Hart, Bernini and Borromini.
The daffodils come from a bunch gifted to me, a bunch of sunshine that brightened my week!
