Let's go to discovery the masterpieces of the enigmatic, fascinating and rebellious Caravaggio!

What is the Programme?
The first stop is at Caravaggio's most important public commission: the three revolutionary scenes on the life of Saint Matthew in the Church of Saint Luigi of France. We continue nearby in the Church of Sant'Agostino so as to admire the great canvas of the Madonna of the Pilgrims. This painting contains a tender portrait of Lena, one of the painter's lovers, dressed as the Virgin. The tour continues along Via della Scrofa and Via di Ripetta as we examine Caravaggio's most tormented and violent periods that were carried out in this zone of the city.

The tour finishes in Piazza del Popolo at the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo where Caravaggio painted the two masterpieces: the Conversion of Saint Paul and the Crucifixion of Saint Peter. Began in the 1400's, this church was modified in the 1600's under the influence of Coveting, Sansovino, Pinturicchio, Mino from Fiesole, Raffaello and Bernini.

This tour will take place in two different languages, English and Italian, and lasts approximately 2 hours and a half.
