Description: Our Sistine Chapel is a place of emotions, passion, and discovery. A place where time reveals the man that Michelangelo was and the New Man the Renaissance gave birth to. It is rich with the sounds of music, voices and the images Michelangelo created to portray his world, his fears, his faith, his torments, his dreams and his loves. Our Sistine Chapel is a place of legends, anecdotes, princes, popes, scandals and endless surprises. It is the solemn gesture of Christ, who at the end of time, watches and judges us. It is Christ's enigmatic and inscrutable gaze and the gesture with which he summons the good and condemns the damned. Our Sistine Chapel is God's eternal gaze in the 7 days of the creation, it is the face of the Madonna and that of Christ in the Pieta.
Our Sistine Chapel is the place of over 3000 frescoed figures with their incredible wealth and variety of bodies, gestures, poses, gazes, eternal expressions, which recount to us the whole of humanity and depict the greatest celestial sphere ever painted. It is where the Creation takes place, where God moulds the earth, the sun, the moon and the sea. It is the invisible spark with which God beckons the inert man and instills him with life; the most unfathomable and generous of all gifts.

Our Sistine Chapel is a place of temptation, sensuality and desire, wounds that won't heal, shrills of pain and songs of angels. Our Sistine Chapel is bright and festive, sweet and endless, a magical and tempestuous place in which Renaissance man unveils his thirst for experience, knowledge and emotions, and reveals to us his human flaws, his desolate humanity and his need for God. Our Sistine Chapel is the expression of the quintessential Renaissance man: suspended, more than ever before, between heaven and earth, the human and the divine, life and death. Our Sistine Chapel is the place of the ultimate mystery, because the ultimate mystery is the incarnation of the son of God for the salvation of man, the pose, the beard and the thoughts of the prophet Jeremiah; the peremptory gesture of the prophet Ezekiel, the immortal but aged body of the Cumaean Sibyl to whom eternal youth has not been granted.

Our Sistine Chapel is an immense place from which you can not leave but richer, changed and less alone.

The tour is a rich and dynamic journey into Renaissance society with its new values, its experimentation and development of expressive means after centuries of stagnation. Let us open your eyes to the great Renaissance masters within the Vatican Museums: Perugino, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael and last but not least, the genius that is Michelangelo, and we will transport you to a totally awe-inspiring and irresistible world.
