Itinerary

Stop 1 · 45m
The Rome tour begins at Piazza del Popolo, in front of Santa Maria del Popolo that holds two extraordinary works of art by Caravaggio (Crucifixion of St. Peter and Conversion on the Way to Damascus) and is topped by a magnificent dome designed and frescoed by Raphael
-
Stop 2 · 45m
We continue our exploration of the historic center in the Campo Marzio district, along Via Ripetta, where Caravaggio famously drew his inspiration from the large number of prostitutes who inhabited the street
-
Stop 3 · 30m
From here, we head to the beautiful church of Santa Maria della Pace, taking in Raphael’s fresco of Sybil’s dance and the majestic angels that adorn the ceiling
-
Stop 4 · 30m
Then we move on to the Sant’Agostino Church to enjoy a painting and a fresco by our two protagonists before moving on to the church of San Luigi dei Francesi, where the trilogy dedicated to San Matteo is kept (some of the most mysterious and intense paintings ever created by Caravaggio). The artist himself had an indomitable character and non-conformist tendencies that bought him a life of persecution and an early and tragic death
-
Stop 5 · 30m
The last attraction on our tour will be the Pantheon, its unique structure establishing it as one of the most impressive architectural features of the city. It was the first pagan temple to be converted to Christianity and today is home to the tombs of the first two kings of Italy, placed here after the unification in 1861. Between them we also find the tomb of Raphael, whose work became the model of perfection in Renaissance painting, earning him a resting place in one of the most famous attractions of the city
