Caravaggio Private Tour: on the footsteps of a shadow

Forgotten for centuries, the controversial artist is now considered one of the most important painters of any time; he died young in 1610. Just the time to create a limited but unforgettable number of masterpieces. From Milan he moved to Rome and its works are still visible in the churches they were created for, all situated in the district where Caravaggio lived: the area around the Pantheon and Navona square where even today, in the darkeness of the evening or winter we can imagine to meet him. A genial man, who created impressive works using no lines but shadows and dark pigments to emphasize light. San Luigi dei Francesi, Sant'Agostino and Santa Maria del Popolo are the three churches where we can admire his masterpieces. Discover with me Caravaggio and I am sure, you will fall in love with him… we can go on with another tour to the Borghese Gallery were many of his works are preserved.
