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.

The Catacombs

Ancient Roman Houses
Continue to the Caelian Hill, where preserved homes, storerooms, and courtyards lie beneath the floors of a church. Step into rooms where ordinary Romans once lived and worked, and see the shrine dedicated to Christians martyred in the 4th century. When closed, the extraordinary Church of San Clemente may be visited in its place.
