Free Caravaggio Tour: Six Masterpieces & A Life of Scandals

Discover the fascinating story of the genius who revolutionized painting with his extraordinary use of light and shadow, while leading a life as exciting as it was turbulent, surrounded by artists, courtesans, patrons, and constant run-ins with the law.

On this tour, we’ll walk through the streets where he lived and worked. We’ll meet his friends, patrons, and models; uncover the secrets of his daily life; and visit the sites of the confrontations that shaped his destiny—right up to the crime that turned him into a fugitive.

But the most extraordinary part will be viewing six original paintings by Caravaggio, preserved in three historic churches in Rome: Santa Maria del Popolo, Sant’Agostino, and San Luigi dei Francesi.
A journey through art and crime, genius and rebellion, to discover the man behind one of history’s most fascinating painters.
