Borghese Tickets - buying in advance

I'm trying to buy Borghese tickets for early March. The website seems to only offer tickets through February 3rd, when the special Picasso exhibit ends. I don't see a calendar after that for regular tickets. I'm using website:

https://www.ticketone.it/borghese-gallery-tickets.html?affiliate=ITT&doc=artistPages/tickets&fun=artist&action=tickets&kuid=476825

I also appear to be able to buy them at the following website, but am not sure these are the official tickets:

www.rome-museum.com

Any suggestions? Thanks.

www.rome-museum.com is a ticket re-seller for several museums/attractions. You'll pay a few extra euro for the convenience, but they are fine and you will have a legitimate ticket.

Last September, I ordered a ticket through www,rome-museum.com for my visit in December. I got an email from them stating that the Borghese was not yet taking reservations for my desired date. A few weeks later once that date opened, I got my voucher that I printed out and used on my visit with no problems.

Of course, you can also wait and make your reservation through the official site once they start taking reservations for March. You'll save a few euros, but of course will have to remember to keep checking so you don't miss your date.

I thought I could help you, but I am as lost as you are.

I am looking at Rick Steves' Rome Book for 2019. I tried one of the websites he mentioned: www.galleriaborghese.it
I don't think I saw ticket sales on this website.

I tried a second website that Rick mentions: to book online www.tosc.it.
I notice that once I entered this website on my computer, the website "ticketone.it" comes up.
Furthermore, the big problem is that the entire website is in Italian. I don't see any links to change it to English.

I plan to take my trip in May. If you receive any great information or insight, please let me know.

Thank you and good luck.

My browser is Google Chrome. When I get a site without English, I can right-click and choose "Translate to English." I'm pretty sure the ticket one site is an official site for tickets, I seem to recall using it 2 years ago for more than one sight in Rome.

There still are no tickets available after Feb. 3. Maybe they aren't sure if they are extending the exhibition. The only thing to do is to call them.

Same as Chani: there doesn't appear to be availability beyond Feb. 3 on either the Italian or English versions of the official ticketing site (which is https://www.tosc.it). The Picasso exhibit ends after Feb. 3 so it's possible they're waiting until next week to update the ticket price and/or other info. As suggested, you could call them.

Editing to add:

On the right hand side of the page is a drop-down under "menu" for the English version if my link above doesn't just come up in English.
