The Galleria Borghese brings together an extraordinary collection
of ancient and modern sculpture within a beautifully decorated
villa. This volume, dedicated to modern sculpture (Late Renaissance
to Baroque to Neoclassical), marks the start of a new general
catalogue of the collection. The introduction narrates the history
of the collection, from its creation by Cardinal Scipione Borghese
in the 17th century to its sale to the Italian Republic at the end
of the 19th century. The entries are full of chronological details,
new attributions, information on restorations and account for the
different historical settings thanks to an accurate study of the
inventory records of the villa. They include world-famous
masterpieces by Algardi, Bernini and Canova among others. The
sale to Napoleon of many of its Antique works of art (now in the
Louvre) was key to the Borghese's commission works of ancient
inspiration, the analysis of which animates the pages of another
section, based on the concepts of copy and remake. The catalogue
closes with a section on restoration, that gives an account of the
fundamental role of 16- to 18th-century sculptors in the
maintenance and transformation of the archaeological collection in
relation to the villa's display requirements. Text in Italian.
