Stop At: Church of St. Louis of the French, Piazza San Luigi de' Francesi, 00186 Rome Italy

Stories of St. Matthew by Caravaggio

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, best know as simply CARAVAGGIO, was not only a painter, but a “star”!

His adventurous life, full of sensational events, and his revolutionary style made him an undisputed leading figure of Italian art: you can find out everything about on our Caravaggio Tour. Caravaggio lived a short, dramatic life and knew the city of Rome in all its aspects, including the violent, sketchy and dangerous ones. Our guides are art historians and experts of Rome and they’ll show you Caravaggio’s paintings, a few hidden in some of the most beautiful churches in Rome…

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Basilica di Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio, Piazza di Sant'Agostino 2, 00186 Rome Italy

You will hear the stories about his friends, his loves, the models he chose among the poorest in the city, his favorite restaurants and much more!

For this tour you won’t have to pay for any entrance tickets or visit any museum…you will see the Caravaggio works that are still exhibited in the places for which they were originally painted: three magnificent churches!

Our guides will tell you the stories behind complicated negotiations for paintings which ended with the creation of some unique, unexpected works..Caravaggio's works were certainly not easily accepted by the rich people of those times! 

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo, Piazza del Popolo 12 Campo Marzio, 00187 Rome Italy

You'll visit churches that are monuments in itself: like the beautiful

Santa Maria del Popolo with the paintings of the stories of Peter and Paul

Incredibly realistic paintings and not at all in line with the iconography of his days will reveal their secrets! Would you believe that in the Conversion of St. Paul a horse occupies a larger space than the saint himself? This is just one of the many questions our guides will answer! Realism, audacity, talent, love and the tragic life of this genius will turn you on to the Rome of the 1600s, we are sure you will want to know even more!

Rome is an open-air museum, yes we mean it, and thanks to this tour you can appreciate it too! You will not have to stand lines, pay tickets or stay indoors, to discover the wonders of art because … they are all around you! Just get the right guide! Our guides will show them to you and will share our love for their astonishing beauty with you!

Have fun!
