The historic center of Rome is a miraculous place. Miraculous because it was preserved virtually intact throughout a rich and varied history and offers future generations the opportunity to enjoy unique and marvelous works, which reflect the sensitive and spiritual human talent.The driver of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries wire can guide us on a journey tracing the lives and fascinating work one of the largest, most complex and innovative in the history of art: Caravaggio.
This genius could not settle in a particular place to work quietly because of its unstable nature, bellicose and turbulent. His friend and contemporary Floris Van Dyck Claris tells how "after several years of work, Caravaggio went from town to town to serve several lords. He was a hard worker, but at the same time proud, stubborn and always ready to play or engage in a confrontation, which made difficult to agree with him.Among the many cities (Rome, Naples, Malta, Syracuse, Messina and Palermo), where he developed his artistic activity, Rome was privileged, even though most of his work in this city are now scattered around the world (Russia, Austria, France, United States ...), partly because of the realistic and visionary free duly innovative character of his works, which have met with strong opposition or rejection of the principles of the time. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, called Caravaggio, born in Milan in 1570 came to Rome in 1592 "naked and extremely needy", aged just over 20 years.
