Description

Rome is a masterpiece, but behind its beauty hides a mystery.

Perfect for any weather, this immersive experience moves between open piazzas and cool, atmospheric churches — offering shade, shelter, and even places to sit along the way. Whether under blazing Roman sun or unexpected rain, you’ll explore the city comfortably while diving deep into one of its darkest stories.

Join us for an artful investigation as we retrace the steps of Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio: a brilliant painter, a violent man, and the victim of an unsolved death.

This tour is a journey through piazzas, churches, and dimly lit alleys, as we reveal Rome’s baroque treasures and unravel the secrets they hide. We'll uncover the scandalous life of Caravaggio — his art, his lovers, his enemies — and attempt to answer one question: who wanted him dead?

Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the churches. The truth, however, will be fully exposed.

The itinerary:

-Piazza della Minerva
-Pantheon
-The Senate of Italy (Palazzo Madama)
-San Luigi dei Francesi
-Sant’Agostino
-Caravaggio's House
-Palazzo Borghese

- Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the churches.

Great combination of Caravaggio and Rome

This tour was a great way to learn about Caravaggio's life and see his art in its original surroundings. It gives a great perspective on the change he initiated and insight into the structures of the Renaissance art scene.

It was very informative and a great way of presenting history. I learnt a lot about Caravaggio's art and life.

Between Churches and Streets

Following a guide through the winding streets and churches to track down every single painting, and listening to the stories of the legendary artist's life and the tragic end to his short career, made for a fascinating experience that gave me a much deeper appreciation for both the painter and Rome.

Amazing tour with Ivan

The topic itself was interesting and the way Ivan guided us throughout the journey made me feel very much involved in the story and I now know interesting facts about the artist and Rome at the time he lived there. Thanks!
