Art lovers traveling to Rome will enjoy the five-star Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese’s new Caravaggio Experience, a complete immersion experience focusing on the work and the brief, intense life of the artist. Best known for his passionate and unsettling realism in large-scale works, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was “the father of Baroque painting.” Visiting 18 of his works, the Grand Tour Caravaggio experience includes a specialized guide who takes guests on exclusive walking tours of Caravaggio’s Roman haunts as well as to several museums and Roman churches where some of his most widely-known pieces as well as hidden gems are kept. Additional activities, such as fencing school where guests can partake in the 1600s art of dueling with a venerable Master at Arms, and trainer of lead actor Alessio Boni of the film Caravaggio, can also be coordinated. The 4-night hotel package starts at 950 EUR per night based on luxury double room, inclusive of accommodations, overnight stay in bed and breakfast basis, and the two-day Caravaggio tour. Other activities, such as fencing school can be quoted on demand. A city tax of 7 EUR to be added per person per night. For reservations, email h1312-re@sofitel.com.
