Ivan taught me about Caravaggio’s bio, misfortunes, gossip and composition of the artworks in the Contarelli’s Chapel - I give to Ivan 5 stars, he was nice, fun, compelling and informative! I have been learning about Caravaggio but the captivating stories of the characters of each paintings were fascinating. Caravaggio really knew how to be authentic, that’s why is the only one ever lived.

100% recommend this tour - 100% recommend this tour. Giacopo’s knowledge was impressive. He answered all questions and described Caravaggio’s life, work, relationships, clashes with authority, escape and ending with humour and patience.
