The event
Until October 11, 2025, the renowned Galleria Borghese in Rome becomes the stage for Tales of Ligt, an immersive video mapping show that blends art, history, and technology in a truly unforgettable experience. A Unique Event in the Heart of Rome
Imagine the elegance of classical art meeting cutting-edge innovation in one of the city’s most iconic cultural landmarks. Every Friday and Saturday evening, Tales of Light transforms the rear façade of the historic Villa Borghese into a living canvas, with high-definition projections, original music, and an evocative narrative voice guiding you through more than four centuries of artistic and architectural evolution.
This immersive art show in Rome traces the journey of the Galleria Borghese from its origins in the 17th century (when Cardinal Scipione Borghese acquired the land and envisioned the villa as a haven for his exceptional art collection) through centuries of renovations, garden transformations, and curated exhibitions.
Guests are invited to enjoy the show while comfortably seated in the villa’s beautiful garden. Multiple screenings will take place each evening from 9:15 PM, with advance booking required. Tickets can be purchased directly from the official Galleria Borghese website.
Tales of Light offers a rare chance to experience Rome after dark in an entirely new way. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Villa Borghese, one of the most beautiful historic green spaces in Rome, this event invites you to rediscover the Eternal City through light, sound and storytelling.
The show is available in Italian, English, French, Spanish, and Italian Sign Language (LIS), ensuring accessibility for a wide range of visitors.
The event follows, in chronological order, all the key moments that made Galleria Borghese a landmark for art lovers — from Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s original vision to the transformation of the gardens, from architectural projects to the evolving exhibitions that have enriched this extraordinary place over the centuries.
