In Rome the list of specially-opened sites includes Galleria Borghese, Palazzo Altemps, Castel S. Angelo and the Baths of Caracalla.

Highlights in other cities include the Uffizi and Bargello in Florence; the Capodimonte and Palazzo Reale in Naples; the Musei Reali in Turin; and the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice.
