Overview

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

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.
