Rome Art Walking Tour Who Killed Caravaggio
Enter the world of Baroque Rome through the dramatic lens of one man—Caravaggio. A genius with a taste for danger, he 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.
Modest attire is required for church visits—bare shoulders and knees are not permitted. Drama, however, is guaranteed.
It's a tip-based tour. The guides work on the ‘Pay-What-You-Want’ tour model which means they work for your tips alone. At the end of the experience you can give your guide what you think the tour was worth.
