Itinerário

1. Begin your tour in Piazza del Popolo, one of Rome’s most elegant squares. Inside the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo, discover the Chigi Chapel, commissioned by the banker Agostino Chigi. Raphael designed the chapel’s central-plan architecture and provided the cartoons for the beautiful dome mosaics depicting God the Creator and the planets. Your guide will explain how the chapel reflects Raphael’s refined understanding of harmony, proportion, and classical beauty.

About Roma

Roma sobrepõe quase três mil anos de história numa cidade para percorrer a pé, do Coliseu e do Fórum às praças barrocas e à arte do Vaticano.

A Roma antiga continua à vista de todos. O Coliseu, o Fórum Romano e o Palatino erguem-se juntos no coração da cidade, o Panteão mantém-se de pé com o seu óculo aberto, e fragmentos de templos e aquedutos surgem entre os prédios de habitação. Do outro lado do Tibre, a Cidade do Vaticano guarda a Basílica de São Pedro, os Museus do Vaticano e o teto da Capela Sistina pintado por Miguel Ângelo.
