4 - Baroque Rome
Theatrical settings, fantasy, amazement and illusion: these are the keynotes of Baroque art and architecture. During this tour you will become familiar with two ingenious 17th century architects who were not only artists in their own right, but also bitter rivals: Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. This itinerary includes some of their masterpieces: S. Carlino alle Quattro Fontane, S. Andrea al Quirinale, S. Andrea delle Fratte, S. Ivo alla Sapienza, piazza Navona. However it also includes one of the best examples of Baroque art in Rome: the Sant'Ignazio di Loyola church, which is amazing for the illusionist tecnique of the renewed frescoed ceilings. A highly-specialized itinerary, for those who have already been to Rome and for those who are particularly interested in architecture and art history. Info:
