"Inaccessibility fueled its mystique, and the Torlonia Collection
became the stuff of legend. After decades of negotiations and false
starts, the public will be able to decide whether reality lives up
to the myth when 96 statues go on display at the Palazzo
Caffarelli, part of the Capitoline Museums here, in March. The
exhibition, “The Torlonia Marbles. Collecting Masterpieces,” will
be open for a nine-month stint, a prelude to a grand tour."
— NEW YORK TIMES
"The Torlonia Collection is one of the most important collections
of classical sculpture still in private hands. Only a few people
have ever glimpsed the 620 works in storage." —ARTNET.COM
