Caravaggio in Rome - Masterpieces and secrets - Private tour

Stroll through the historic center of Rome to discover the tumultuous life and extraordinary masterpieces of Caravaggio, the most famous Baroque art painter in Italy!

His fascinating paintings are known above all for their naturalism and for the dramatic use of light and chiaroscuro. Thanks to disruptive light beams, tragic figures capture the viewer's attention emerging from the shadows: from the fascinating cycle on St. Matthew to the harsh violence of the Crucifixion of St. Peter.

And Caravaggio's life was as dramatic as his paintings: his irritable and violent character led him to get involved in street fights and caused him problems with the law, culminating in a death sentence for murder.

Our expert guide will take you to the alleys that have been the scene of fights and clashes, to visit the beautiful churches where breathtaking masterpieces continue to fascinate visitors after more than four centuries.
