À propos de cette activité
This is not a museum exhibition or a visit to the Palazzo Barberini — it's a walking tour through the heart of Rome, focused on Caravaggio’s original masterpieces housed inside the city’s most beautiful historic basilicas.
With an expert guide, you’ll explore the very places where Caravaggio’s art was meant to be seen — churches filled with atmosphere, history, and drama. Each stop reveals the story behind the canvas, the controversy behind the artist, and the lasting impact of his revolutionary style.
