Under Paul V: one of the Borghese family's leading painters
After returning briefly to Bologna he goes back to Rome and becomes one of the premier painters under Pope Paul V (Borghese); between 1607 and 1614 he is one of the painters most patronized by the Borghese family.

He leaves Rome over low pay
According to rumour he was assigned to paint the papal Chapel of the Annunciation at Montecavallo, but, feeling underpaid by the papal ministers, Reni leaves Rome for Bologna once again, leaving the role of the city's pre-eminent artist to Domenichino.

A studio in Bologna: nearly 200 pupils
Having returned to Bologna more or less for good, he sets up a successful, prolific studio: two ateliers in the city centre teem with nearly two hundred pupils, the most distinguished of whom is Simone Cantarini, called Il Pesarese. Another was Antonio Randa — at first considered the best, until he tried to kill his master.
