Private Guide in Rome:


In these tour I will take you to explore the sites related to Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini, Borromini and Caravaggio. I want to offer a total understanding of the personalities of these Masters, their way of living thinking and interpreting life received so many art works commissions from the noble family and Popes. You will be immerse in the history and you will feel the atmosphere of the Renaissance & Baroque times.
During your tour you will see the facade of Palazzo Spada Capodiferro, a great example of Mannerist stucco sculptural decor of the palazzo's front and its courtyard façades feature sculptures crowded into niches and fruit and flower swags, grotesques and vignettes of symbolic devices in bas-relief among the small framed windows of a mezzanine, the richest cinquecento façades in Rome.
The palace is also renown for the Borromini master piece of trompe-l'oeil false perspective in the arcaded courtyard in which diminishing rows of columns and a rising floor create the optical illusion of a gallery about 122 feet long (it is 24 feet) with a life-size sculpture in daylight beyond: the sculpture is 24 inches high. During the tour you will visit many historical places and churches that house greatest works of those masters. You will also see Navona square, Trevi fountain, Pantheon and the Spanish square and the late Mannerism Palazzo Zuccari (outdoor) whose decoration on via Gregoriana resemble the face of a monster with the door and windows as an open mouth and above it a large nose, two eyes and ears.
