Following half a century of obscurity, the world’s last great private collection of classical sculpture opened to the public today. Ninety-two marble sculptures from the Torlonia collection are now on show at the Villa Caffarelli, part of Rome’s Musei Capitolini, in the exhibition The Torlonia Marbles: Collecting Masterpieces (until 29 June 2021). There are plans to move all 620 ancient Greek and Roman works to a new museum in Rome, and this first step in that direction has drawn feverish anticipation.
