Caravaggio tour in Rome: where art meets beauty
Guided tour to follow in the footsteps of the famous painter, tracing his loves, scandals and secrets
Rome needs no introduction, and neither does Caravaggio, Italy's greatest Baroque painter, whose life is inextricably linked to the streets and history of the Eternal City. A chance to take a walk in Caravaggio's shoes. Alongside a private tour guide, set off from the painter's first residence and workshop near Piazza Navona. Then discover Caravaggio's masterpieces in the churches of San Luigi dei Francesi, Sant'Agostino and Santa Maria del Popolo. Admire the realistic style and chiaroscuro that draws the viewers in to witness the scenes depicted. Continue to the various places that played a significant role in the artist's life, including Via Pallacorda, where he murdered Ranuccio Tomassoni, probably out of amorous jealousy. End your day with a scoop of artisanal ice cream.
