Sistine Chapel (Italian: Cappella Sistina) is the best-known chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in Vatican City.

Itinerary: Capitol hill, St. Peter in Chains, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, St. Peter Basilica, St. Maria degli Angeli, Farnese Palace - Sistin Chapel is available in tour 7. Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian, Leonardo da Vinci.

Perhaps you've been to Rome. You've probably seen the Coliseum, the Forum, a dozen or so churches, and the Vatican. Well, if so, you've only scratched the surface. Underground, beneath the Coliseum lies a rabbit-warren of rooms where the death defying spectacles were prepared. Beneath that, archaeologists have excavated the skulls of tigers, giraffes, bears, and other animals used in the shows. And those churches you've visited for their renaissance art most likely harbor pagan secrets below their floors as well.

This tour is taylored to discover the baroque in Rome:  Church of Saint Andrew's at the Quirinal, Church of Saint Charles at the Four Fountains, Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius, Church of the Gesu, Sant'Andrea della Valle, Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza, Santa Teresa's Estasy, Navona Square. 

During the 17th & 18th centuries Rome was the throbbing heart of European art life, achieving such an importance as an artistic crossroad that it more than rivaled the level Paris reached at the end of the 19th century. The protagonists of the Baroque movement in Rome, Bernini & Borromini, will be discussed throughout the tour that incorporates some of their finest works. Visit a small church where you'll see a fine example of the pyrotechnic display Baroque artists could perform, to continue to get acquainted with two different genial interpretations of this style given in S. Carlino by Borromini and in S. Andrea by Bernini. Then, visit "Il Gesu", the first Baroque church erected in Rome which features the most representative frescoed vault of this period. After having enjoyed the aerial solution Borromini gave to his dome in S. Ivo, we'll end at S. Andrea della Valle which will present to us a more courtly version of the Baroque style.
