Landscaping of the Gardens was commenced in 1605 by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who commissioned the gardener Domenico Savini da Montepulciano. He successfully turned his vineyard into one of the most beautiful gardens in Rome. It was opened to the public only in 1903. Apart from Galleria Borghese, the Gardens house the Villa Giulia, Villa Medici, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art) and “Bioparco di Roma” (Biological Park of Rome).
