“Let an art expert guide you through the heart of Rome’s city center in the footsteps of one of the most innovative and controversial artists of all times: Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio.”
In this exclusive tour you will walk through the streets where he spent most of his short and troubled life and visit the churches that contain some of his most famous masterpieces. A unique journey through history during which you will learn about his life and what made his works both revolutionary and shocking in the baroque era.
Following the tour, you will be welcomed in a cozy art studio where we will recreate the special environment and atmosphere of Caravaggio’s laboratory in the heart of Rome. With the assistance of a local artist, you will experiment first hand his revolutionary painting style based on extreme realism, contrasting lights and shadows.

In this fully immersive experience, Caravaggio’s technique will be revealed in its core: don’t miss out on this chance to replicate a true art piece and make it yours.
