Overview
This tour goes beyond Caravaggio's masterpieces to reveal the extraordinary man behind them: genius, gambler, murderer and fugitive, whose dramatic life unfolded across the streets, churches and palaces you'll discover along the way.
Meet your fully licensed English-speaking guide outside the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo before following Caravaggio's footsteps through the heart of Rome.
Walk the very street where, in 1606, a duel with Ranuccio Tomassoni ended in murder, forcing the artist to flee Rome with a death sentence on his head.
Admire the complete Saint Matthew cycle and the Madonna of the Pilgrims, whose striking realism and ordinary models scandalised seventeenth-century Rome.
Outside Palazzo Madama, discover how Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte recognised Caravaggio's genius and launched the career that changed the history of art.
The experience ends with a traditional tasting paired with a glass of local wine, inspired by one of Caravaggio's most famous anecdotes.

-
Chiesa di Santa Maria del PopoloStep inside the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo to admire The Crucifixion of Saint Peter and The Conversion of Saint Paul, where Caravaggio's revolutionary vision—dramatic light, deep shadows, and ordinary people as models for saints—redefined religious painting over 400 years ago.
-
Piazza NavonaJust a minute's walk from Piazza Navona, step inside the often-overlooked Basilica of Sant'Agostino to discover the Madonna of Loreto, where poor, exhausted pilgrims with dirty feet kneel before the Virgin and the Christ Child in one of Caravaggio's boldest and most moving works.
-
Church of St. Louis of the FrenchEnter San Luigi dei Francesi to experience the complete Saint Matthew cycle in the Contarelli Chapel. From the Calling to the Martyrdom of Saint Matthew, these three paintings became Caravaggio's first great public commission and the moment that changed his career forever.
-
Palazzo MadamaPause outside Palazzo Madama, where Caravaggio lived under the patronage of Cardinal del Monte before the surrounding streets became the stage for his turbulent life of taverns, quarrels and legendary brawls.
-
Via dei CoronariEnd your journey with a local tasting and a glass of wine in the neighbourhood Caravaggio once called home.
