Accompanied by an expert guide in a small group journey, your destination will be St. Peter’s Square, a creation of architect Gianlorenzo Bernini for Pope Alexander VII. Your guide will help you understand how Bernini, in the late 1600s, designed St. Peter’s Square and the Colonnade for Pope Alexander VII. After passing through security, you will enter the Basilica of St. Peter where your gaze will instantly be held captive by Michelangelo’s Pieta, carved by the young Master himself. The Basilica, erected over a span of 120 years, bears the artistic touch of renowned Renaissance and Baroque artists like Bramante, Sangallo, Michelangelo, Maderno, and Bernini. Moving further, you will stand beneath the dome, under the magnificent ‘Baldachin’ with coiled bronze columns stretching over 90 feet in height. Feast your eyes on the splendid mosaics and impressive artworks. The final part of your journey will lead you atop the dome, a Michelangelo design, providing a vantage point for one of Rome’s most beautiful cityscape views.
