Caravaggio in Rome Private Walking Tour: The Rebel Genius Revealed

Born in Milan in 1571, Caravaggio lived and worked in Rome from the late 1580s until 1606, transforming the course of art history. This walking tour leads you through the districts where he lived and painted, uncovering stories, techniques and the bold vision behind his revolutionary art. We admire his masterpieces in the very churches for which they were created: at Santa Maria del Popolo, The Conversion of Saint Paul and The Crucifixion of Saint Peter; at Sant’Agostino, the powerful Madonna of the Pilgrims. The tour concludes at San Luigi dei Francesi, home to the three paintings dedicated to Saint Matthew, Caravaggio’s first altarpieces and a turning point in Western art. A passionate and immersive journey into the life of a genius who changed forever the way we look at reality. Let me reveal all his secrets, let’s go!
