The tour of the Vatican Museums, for most of us, is a dream at the top of our wishlists. Please allow me to share with you my special way to discover one of the most beautiful places in the world.
We'll enter the world-famous Vatican Museums. You will be amazed by the masterpieces you will find in the galleries we will stroll through together: ancient statues, mosaics, tapestries and maps that the pope loved as decorations of his own beautiful palace.
We will visit the private rooms of the Pope, painted by Raffaello and his amazing team of artists. The competitor of Michelangelo planned all the decorations and you will appreciate his personal style as well as you will be surprised by all the hidden meanings and jokes.
I'll make it quick and easy for us to reach the Sistine Chapel painted by the great master Michelangelo. It will be my pleasure and an honor for me to allow you the opportunity to admire it at your own pace after a description of its rich history and lurid scandals behind the scenes.
The last part of our Vatican experience will be dedicated to the Basilica of Saint Peter, the biggest catholic church in the world, the most famous one, rich in history and art.
Since the IV century the Basilica was a referring point for all the christian that want to honor the tomb of the apostle Peter, but it became as beautiful and enchanting as we can see today when Pope Giulius the II started a huge renovation.
The most important architects worked for him: Bramante, Raffaello, Bernini, Borromini and many others. Thousands of artists made amazing statues, marble decorations, mosaics and precious details to decorate altars and sarcophagus.
