Caravaggio’s Rome, Reimagined

Step into the dramatic world of Caravaggio, the Baroque master whose life was as turbulent as his art. This private experience takes you through Rome’s streets and sanctuaries where his greatest works still hang in their original settings — raw, immediate, and as striking as when they were first unveiled.


Masterpieces in Their True Home

Gaze upon the Madonna dei Pellegrini in Sant’Agostino, Caravaggio’s daring portrayal of the sacred with startling realism, and follow the celebrated cycle of  St. Matthew at San Luigi dei Francesi, where chiaroscuro reshaped the language of painting. In these spaces, you’ll witness art not as a museum piece, but as it was intended — alive within its sacred frame.


Behind the Canvas: The Restoration Studio

Gain rare entry to a leading restoration lab, where masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Tintoretto have been brought back from the brink of obscurity. Watch as experts employ delicate techniques, advanced imaging, and centuries of craft to preserve works for future generations. Here, art reveals not only its surface beauty but its hidden layers and secrets.


A Journey into Light and Legacy

This tour weaves together Caravaggio’s audacity, the timeless resonance of his paintings, and the painstaking care that keeps them alive. It is an encounter with genius, fragility, and endurance — the very essence of Rome’s artistic soul.

Few artists have captured the soul of Rome quite like Caravaggio. This tour offers a rare opportunity to see his masterpieces as he intended — in their original settings, guided by those who understand the light, drama, and humanity behind his genius.

A Three-Day Journey Through 

Italy’s Forgotten Civilisation

Step beyond the familiar story of Rome and uncover the culture that shaped its very foundations: the Etruscans. This immersive three-day journey takes you through ancient city-states, extraordinary necropolises, and castles layered with centuries of history, offering a rare glimpse into the lives, beliefs, and artistry of this enigmatic people.


Vulci: The Heart of an Ancient City

Walk the ruins of Vulci, once a thriving Etruscan stronghold along the Fiora River. Explore the remains of its grand houses, sacred temples, and even the mysterious Mithraeum — evidence of the vibrant cults that once flourished here.


Abbadia Castle & Devil’s Bridge

Discover priceless artefacts housed within the medieval Abbadia Castle, each unearthed from nearby tombs. Just beyond lies the Devil’s Bridge, an extraordinary feat of engineering that bears the imprint of centuries of use.


The Necropolis of Cerveteri

At the UNESCO World Heritage site of Banditaccia, wander among monumental tombs carved into the earth, each telling a story of Etruscan belief, artistry, and ritual. It is here that the civilisation’s intimacy and imagination reveal themselves most vividly.


Castle of Santa Severa

Your journey concludes at the Castle of Santa Severa, once a papal refuge and later a military outpost. Recently restored, it now offers a night’s stay within its walls — a fitting finale to a voyage through history.


A Civilisation Rediscovered

This luxury experience combines discovery with comfort, giving you time to savour not just the sites but their stories. The Etruscans’ influence on Roman religion, engineering, and culture is profound — and with expert guidance, you’ll come to appreciate just how deeply they shaped the world we know today.

Through forgotten necropolises and timeless citadels, this journey uncovers the brilliance of a civilization that shaped Rome itself. A rare encounter with Italy’s ancient soul — immersive, evocative, and deeply human.
