Summary:

"The architect Antonio Asprucci integrated richly ornamented surfaces, ancient sculpture, and elaborate ceiling paintings across the rooms of the Villa Borghese's Casino to create a unified celebration of the Borghese family, from its legendary ancestors to the newly born heir. Making a Prince's Museum documents the Getty Research Institute's group of drawings for this inventive decorative program and explains the renovated Casino's pivotal role in the historic transition from the semiprivate princely collection to the modern public museum."--Jacket.
