Borghese



         


Borghese is the surname of a family of Italian noble and papal background, originating in Rome. The family seat Palazzo Borghese in Rome formerly housed the Borghese art collections, which since 1903 have been established as the Galleria Borghese, located in the family's former property Villa Borghese.

The Borghese Collection of statuary in the Louvre derives from works sold to Napoleon by Camillo Borghese in 1807.
