Galleria Doria Pamphili
The entrance to this magnificent private gallery is through state apartments planned by Camillo Pamphili in the mid 16th century. The main galleries are around the central courtyard. Velázquez’s portrait of the Pamphili Pope Innocent X is the highlight of the collection; there’s a splendid bust by Bernini of the same pontiff next to it. At the end of the Galleria degli Specchi are four small rooms ordered by century. In the 17th-century room, Caravaggio is represented by the Rest on the Flight into Egypt and the Penitent Magdalene; the 16th-century room includes such works as Titian’s shameless Salome and a Portrait of Two Men by Raphael.
