Overview

Enter the world of Baroque Rome through the dramatic lens of one man—Caravaggio.

Designed to be enjoyed in any weather, this walking tour moves between open piazzas and cool, atmospheric churches, offering shade, shelter, and moments to sit along the way. Whether under the blazing Roman sun or escaping sudden rain, you’ll explore comfortably while diving deep into one of art history’s greatest mysteries.

A genius with a taste for danger, Caravaggio created some of the most powerful works in Western art before vanishing under mysterious circumstances.

This walking tour blends art, history, and true crime, following his footsteps through Rome’s iconic sites and hidden corners. As we admire his masterpieces and retrace his tumultuous life, we’ll slowly piece together a deadly puzzle that’s remained unsolved for over 400 years.
