Art & Bites in Trastevere

To enrich both the soul and the senses, we will visit ancient churches, admire priceless masterpieces of art, and uncover a fascinating underground surprise.

This is a leisurely walk of less than 2 km, featuring 3 tastings, 2 churches, and 1 underground visit.We’ll explore the medieval churches of San Crisogono and Santa Maria in Trastevere, renowned for their mosaics and a hidden underground gem. At San Francesco, we’ll admire an astonishing statue by Bernini, where themes of sexuality and religion intertwine. And, of course, we’ll indulge in some delectable Italian bites from an old bakery, a cozy café, and... well, the rest is a surprise!

The Sacred and the Sexual, a visit of Palazzo Barberini

Discovering this art collection we will focus on the development of European taste in matter of nudity, sexuality and love.

Strolling through the streets of downtown Rome literally means being surrounded by beauty. Streets, squares, churches, museums, sun, colors are an ode to beauty. The concept of beauty is a pillar of the classical Greek-Roman art and often shows sensuality and eroticism; just think of the various female and male classical nudes visible in the museums of the city.
But, as the reader would rightly think, "religion is something else". Nevertheless, sometimes, walking through museums and churches - almost without realizing it, perhaps because unexpected - all sorts of nudes jump out at us as we wander by. Naked flesh of the Saints and corporal ecstasy, the breasts of a Madonna nursing the Holy Baby, and often even the groin of the child Jesus unveiled! All of a sudden we stop dead in our tracks thinking "Hey wait, but, what did I see?". Is this Christian art, is this the Roman Catholic Church? Wasn't nakedness sinful, embarrassing? The sense of it exists and is connected to the innermost part of the Christian faith.

Bernini vs Borromini

It was a rivalry between two men that transformed Rome into the most beautiful and modern city of 17th century Europe.

These two really hated each other. Their names: Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. This… is the story of their enmity!
So, let’s get to know the contenders. Understanding Baroque in a 2 hours walk!
The two main masters of roman Baroque: Bernini's passion, art as a full theatrical lighting. Borromini's genius, the modernity of "chess master" architect.

The Jesuit Tour of Rome

This experience is a walk through Rome’s “Jesuit district,” allowing us to connect with the fascinating history of the Order. It is also an experience in the art of illusion, as we’ll admire Baroque masterpieces created to capture our gaze and make us see a new reality. Get ready, because vaults will seem to move, paintings will appear to break through buildings, curves will look like corners, and flat surfaces will seem rounded and elevated. This is the illusion of anamorphic painting, a technique created by the great master Andrea Pozzo more than three centuries ago. What makes it even more fascinating is that this art was created with a religious purpose, as part of a new method of evangelization—the Jesuit method. Our visit will explore themes of religion, war, political power, military background, mysteries, and also social justice, ecumenical dialogue, and the significance of spirituality and art as tools for evangelical missions. We will begin by admiring Andrea Pozzo’s most famous work: the vault and the faux dome inside the Church of St. Ignatius. The effect will be powerful, but to truly understand his skill and the meaning of anamorphosis, we’ll continue by discovering the corridor he painted in the rooms of St. Ignatius.These rooms are a 5-minute walk from our meeting point, within the House of the Order. Nearby, we’ll enter the Jesuits’ main church: the Gesù. After a brief visit to the church, we’ll end our tour by watching the surprising Machina Barocca show (here the text of the Machina in english). Above the tomb of Ignatius, surrounded by art and music, we’ll witness the dramatic unveiling of the massive silver statue of the saint, floating straight to Heaven.

Catholic art has never been so captivating…
