For the first time in Rome you can visit a major exhibition dedicated to Antonio Allegri da Correggio, or simply Correggio as we know him. Even though the author of the «Danae» was recognized by his contemporaries, he never got as world-known as other Italian artists like Michelangelo or Raphael. The exhibition at Galleria Borghese, opened until September 14th 2008, is your chance to penetrate into the artist's world.

Works arrive from other world museums: «Leda and the Swan» from the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, «Ganymede abducted by the Eagle» and «Jupiter and Io» from the Kunsthistorisches in Vienna, «Venus and Cupid with a Satyr» from the Louvre. The exhibition is a part of a series of exhibitions dedicated to great Italian artists.
