Seventeenth-century Rome gave birth to a new art style characterized by an obsession with emotion and intensity, faith and devotion, elaborate decoration, and a dramatic use of space. Join us on a journey among the magnificent masterpieces of the Baroque period, from the grandeur of Saint Peter's Basilica and the sweeping art collections of the Vatican to the intimate atmosphere of the Galleria Borghese and the emotional intensity of the Cornaro Chapel's staging of Bernini's Ecstasy of St. Teresa. Wander with us through the historic streets of Rome with their ancient ruins, opulent fountains, grand facades, and bustling piazzas.
