From the 15th to the 19th century, the princely Torlonia family amassed a collection of 620 catalogued works of art. Ancient busts, reliefs, statues, sarcophagi, and decorative elements comprise something of a Torlonia family narrative. They also tell the story of a private collection and its migration into museums and institutions. After traveling from Rome’s Musei Capitolini to Milan’s Piazza della Scala, to New York, and to Paris, these priceless relics are now coming to Canada. —Elena Clavarino
