Overview of your Roma tour:

Michelangelo Merisi or "Caravaggio" (his native town), is worlwide recognized as a paramount of painting. His use of chiaroscuro, the sharp contrast of light and darkness carving his crude characters, introduced realism, faith and sincere emotions in the arts of Late Renaissance. Equally admired and cursed, his art was blamed as shocking and outrageous but appreciated by Cardinals and aristocrats. The author of about 70 masterpieces all over the world, in this tour you will discover 7; his precious early works in the exclusive Doria-Pamphilj Gallery (with hundreds of Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces), and of course his heart-throbbing commissions in the churches of S. Luigi and S. Agostino. You will also learn about his tragic life wasted in brawls and duels next to card sharpers, prostitutes as well as the elite of the papal court; you will cross squares and streets and buildings where he lived and finally committed the murder that destroyed his life. Definitely an experience you should not miss!
