Overview
Monumental piazzas, baroque marvels, and priceless paintings will reveal their deepest, darkest secrets. But in all this enchantment, we shouldn’t forget the main thing: we have a murder to solve!
This is a story of the life and death of one of the greatest painters who’d ever lived- Michelangelo Merisi, aka Caravaggio. Why he’s remembered as the Bad Boy of Baroque, and what makes him so special? Why so much drama in his life and his paintings? Who were his friends, lovers, and enemies? But above all, we’ll try to find out who killed him.
It’s when the exploration of a city turns into an investigation of a 400-year-old murder case. You can’t be too sexy to enter the churches-shoulders and knees must be covered.
The itinerary:
-Piazza della Minerva
-Pantheon
-The Senate of Italy (Palazzo Madama)
-San Luigi dei Francesi
-Sant’Agostino
-Caravaggio's House
-Palazzo Borghese
Large group reservations of more than 6 people, even under a different name, are NOT allowed and will be rejected. Groups of more than 6 people must book a private tour.
- Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the churches.
