Welcome, to the most scandalous, jaw-dropping, and utterly fascinating walking tour you never knew you needed! Forget the dry history lectures—this is a tour about the women who made Renaissance Italy sizzle. We will dive deep into the world of Renaissance courtesans, scarlet ladies who played a significant role in the politics of Renaissance Europe. Think of them as muses who inspired some of the greatest artists in history. These women weren’t just beautiful; they were resourceful. You will meet seven unforgettable women, each immortalized in paintings by Caravaggio and Raphael. These weren’t just pretty faces—they were trendsetters, intellectuals, poets, and, in some cases, royal game-changers. Their lives were filled with passion, intrigue, and, of course, a little scandal (okay, a lot of scandal). Expect stories of dangerous ambition and a society that couldn’t decide whether to adore or condemn these women—so naturally, it did both. Trust me, history has never been this juicy.

The opulent Palazzo showcases the prestigious art collection of the aristocratic Doria Pamphilj family. On your tour, you will admire works by Caravaggio, Bernini, Velazquez, Titian, and Raphael to name a few. Guided by an expert art historian, you will explore lavish halls and ballrooms, long golden galleries, lined with chandeliers and paintings, evocative of Versailles. Walk in the footsteps of popes, princes, and famous historical figures including Pope Innocent X. Learn about the art, the artists, and the family in an opulent setting free from the crowds of the Vatican. Admire masterpieces like Velzquez’s portrait of the family pontiff, Pope Innocent X, and Caravaggio’s paintings. The gallery displays over 600 artworks spanning the Italian Renaissance to the French Romantics. End your tour in the courtyard with a charming cafe and souvenir shop.
