Full description
Welcome to Rome, the Eternal City, where art and history intertwine in a captivating cultural tapestry. While the Vatican proudly houses undisputed masterpieces by Michelangelo, including the renowned Pietà and the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, we invite you to embark on a journey to explore the extraordinary works of this great master scattered throughout the city, extending beyond the Vatican walls.
This 3 hours itinerary offers you the opportunity to discover the genius of Michelangelo Buonarroti, a prominent figure of the Renaissance who has left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of Rome. As you traverse the city, Michelangelo's works become an invaluable artistic heritage, transforming every stone and detail into a testament to the greatness of Renaissance art.
Our tour begins at the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, a Gothic marvel built in the 13th century. Inside the Carafa Chapel, you'll encounter Michelangelo's only sculptural work in Rome, the extraordinary "Christ the Redeemer." This statue is a testament to Michelangelo's artistic genius, capturing the power and majesty of Christ with a serene and potent expression. Moving forward, we reach the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, transformed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. Located at the ancient Baths of Diocletian, this basilica stands as a sublime example of Renaissance reinterpretation and adaptation of ancient Roman treasures. Inside, the lesser-known but significant Meridian, a sundial in the central nave, showcases Michelangelo's ability to harmonize science with art. As an architect, he adapted the Baths of Diocletian hall into a Latin cross, creating a vast, solemn space that invites contemplation.
Our next destination is San Pietro in Vincoli, home to one of Michelangelo's grandest works, the sculpture of "Moses." This masterpiece, with its expressive force and intricate details, showcases Michelangelo's mastery in capturing the vitality of the human form. Additionally, you'll discover other artistic treasures, including sculptural reliefs depicting the "Stories of the Cross" and the "Tabernacle of the Holy Family." Concluding our Michelangelo tour is Piazza del Campidoglio, where architectural and urbanistic brilliance takes center stage. Designed entirely by Michelangelo, the square features iconic buildings such as Palazzo Senatorio, Palazzo dei Conservatori, and Palazzo Nuovo. The equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius dominates the heart of the square, accentuated by the geometric marvel of the "Cordonata," designed to create a visual effect of harmony and symmetry.
We wrap up your journey on the Terrazza Caffarelli, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Relax, savor a coffee, and contemplate the wonders of ancient Rome from above, reflecting on the perfect blend of art, architecture, and unforgettable panoramic vistas you've experienced on this extraordinary tour.
