Overview of your Rome tour:

This tour is highly recommended to whom is not only interested in seeing and understanding the Sistine Chapel and the Ancient Greek and Roman art preserved in the Vatican Museum but would like to know and learn more about the whitewashed and unsaid stories about Michelangelo's real nature. Having them clear, will be much easier to understand the reasons behind his artistic choices and peculiar style that differentiate him from any other artist. We'll also be talking about the LGBT world in Ancient Greece and Roman times and how that was even more widespread than we can imagine. Speaking of which, have you ever heard about the Roman Emperor Eliogabalus' desire to change sex, promising the surgeon an enormous reward if he succeeded? Well, we'll be talking about that too and about a lot of other facts! The tour continues into Saint Peter's Basilica where our souls and eyes will be busy catching the overwhelming artistic and spiritual beauty of this church.
