The Saint Tour of Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel is an experience you never forget.
Currently, the offer is supposed to be inclusive of special entry to Vatican Museums.
Your guide will give interesting stories and details in a comfortable, conversational way that augments your appreciation for the historical, artistic and cultural background that impelled the masterpieces to be set at the Hall of the Muses, Pio-Clementine Museum, Gallery of Maps, Gallery of Tapestries, Raphael Rooms and the stunning Courtyard of the Pinecone around Vatican City.
Yours to go further through the Vatican’s museums and reach its climax- Sistine Chapel.
Here you can find the best examples of Italian Renaissance art, such as beautiful frescoes painted by Botticelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio, Ghirlandaio, Luca Signorelli and Piero di Cosimo, great ceiling frescoes, The Last Judgment by Michelangelo.
Founded by Pope Julius II in 1506, it began with one statue-the Laocoon marble group.
The Gallery of Maps, 120 meters long, shows a true outline of the Apennines: i.e., the regions that face the Tyrrhenian Sea to the left and those that face the Adriatic Sea to the right.
Philosophers in this idealized gathering are supposed to bear the features of his contemporaries: Bramante stands for the mathematician Euclid, Plato for that of Leonardo’s portly appearance, Heraclitus for Michelangelo’s famous scowl, and Michelangelo for his frown alongside Buonarroti’s very own boots which he even wore to bed.
Times when people were locked in before papal elections were all locked into the Sistine Chapel today.
