Welcome to Rome, the Eternal City, where art and history intertwine. We invite you to a 3-hour tour to explore the works of Michelangelo beyond the Vatican, highlighting his genius within the city’s context.
We will begin at the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, a Gothic gem from the 13th century. Here you can admire Michelangelo's only sculpture in Rome, "Christ the Redeemer," which captures the majesty and serenity of Christ in an impressive work of art.
Next, we will head to the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. This space, transformed by Michelangelo in the 16th century, is a sublime example of how he reinterpreted the ancient Baths of Diocletian. Inside, you will see the Meridian, an ingenious sundial that demonstrates his ability to fuse science and art.
Following that, we will visit San Pietro in Vincoli, home to the famous sculpture of "Moses." This masterpiece, with its expressive strength and intricate details, reflects Michelangelo's skill in capturing human vitality. You will also discover other treasures, such as the reliefs of the "Stories of the Cross."
We will conclude our tour at the Piazza del Campidoglio, entirely designed by Michelangelo. Here, iconic buildings like the Palazzo Senatorio and Palazzo Nuovo surround the majestic equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. The "Cordonata," designed by Michelangelo, creates beautiful symmetry in the square.
Finally, we will enjoy a coffee at the Terrazza Caffarelli, which offers an impressive panoramic view of Rome. This will be the perfect moment to reflect on the perfect combination of art, architecture, and the wonders of the city you have experienced on this extraordinary tour.
