Tour of Galleria Colonna
Description
The Colonna family is among the oldest families in Rome, and still resides in the wonderful Roman Baroque palace, one of the oldest and most majestic private palaces in the capital. The rooms of the Galleria Colonna house the works of art of the great masters of late Renaissance and Baroque painting: from Tintoretto, Pinturicchio, Guido Reni, Bronzino and Guercino to the trompe l'oeil style of painting. The great Italian cinema also came to these rooms, with the famous film 'Roman Holiday', which contains many scenes filmed inside the Galleria Colonna. Let yourself be enveloped by the palace's many architectural styles that have overlapped over more than five centuries of history, and treat your eyes to this incredible journey through 18th century Italy.

The homes interior and garden walks were excellent. Our guide Rebecca was fantastic and brought life to each room and area we visited. I would not hesitate to keep your Friday free for this and specifically ask for Rebecca to be your guide. My wife and I have travelled museums and private collections all over the world and this one is among the top.
Wonderful experience, beautiful place and full of history. Everything very organized and attentive local staff. Worth a visit!
Rebecca was an experienced, knowledgeable , gracious and helpful giude. I am so glad I took this tour!
During my visit to Rome, I had the opportunity to discover the Galleria Colonna, a little-known but truly unmissable wonder. Entering this splendid historic residence – still belonging to the Colonna family – was like crossing the threshold of time. Each room houses extraordinary works of art, sumptuous furnishings and breathtaking views. The famous Great Hall, in particular, left me breathless. Walking through those halls, immersed in the beauty of Roman Baroque, was a refined and surprising experience. I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something authentic and off the beaten track.
It’s hard to imagine what lies in store for you beyond the walls of this Palazzo just off a street in the middle of Rome. You should be blown away.
The Colonna gallery far exceeded any expectations. The art collection and palace are magnificent. Add to the Guide, Sara M., cultured and friendly, the guided tour was the best memory of this trip to Rome
We were very impressed by the tour, we got interesting background information and every question had an answer! All the highlights of the Vatican summarized in two hours. Afterwards we had the opportunity to explore the Vatican on our own and here too we received valuable tips from the tour guide. We really enjoyed it.
Absolutely stunning! One of the best tours I had among all my stops in London, Paris & Rome. The details of this palace are exquisite, and our guide, Mossimo was so knowledgeable and all around such a pleasant host!
Our party of 3 had the pleasure of doing a private tour with Rebecca H. on Saturday, April 14, 2024. Rebecca has an extensive knowledge of the Palace and it’s amazing artworks. What a wonderful experience! We even had the unique pleasure of meeting the Prince himself, who happened to be walking the grounds. This tour is a remarkable opportunity, available only on Saturdays. We look forward to meeting Rebecca again someday.
