From 20 October to 8 December 2026, the Galleria Borghese hosts “Tiziano. Dialoghi tra Sacro e Profano. La Galleria Borghese incontra l’Annunciazione della cattedrale di Treviso”, curated by Maria Giovanna Sarti. The dossier exhibition offers, for the first time, a direct comparison between Titian’s Annunciation, from the cathedral of Treviso, and the works by the Venetian master already held in the museum’s rooms.
The initiative is part of the celebrations for the 450th anniversary of Titian’s death and continues the series of dossier exhibitions through which the Galleria Borghese explores individual themes or nuclei of its own collection by comparing them with works from other institutions. The format was inaugurated in 2022 with a project dedicated to Titian: “Tiziano. Dialoghi di Natura e di Amore”, which placed the Ninfa e Pastore of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna alongside several Titianesque paintings from the Borghese collection.
The focus of the exhibition is the Annunciation from the cathedral of Treviso, temporarily moved to Rome for the restoration of the frescoes by Pordenone in the Malchiostro chapel.
