Georgia Darell, one of Rome’s top guides, takes you on a journey through the shadows of Caravaggio’s Rome. This walking tour is designed for art lovers, history seekers, and curious travelers alike. You’ll visit three remarkable churches where Caravaggio’s masterpieces still hang, tracing his rise, his scandals, and his radical vision of faith. Along the way, discover how he transformed saints into ordinary people and turned light itself into a weapon of truth. You’ll leave with fresh insight into art, power, and the messy brilliance of human devotion.
