Tour Description
The Sistine Chapel as you have never seen it before.
A SECRET ELECTION:Β Rome, 1492 AD. The old Pope died. And the Cardinals, in line, entered the Sistine ChapelΒ to elect the newΒ Pope: Alexander Borgia.Β
MICHELANGELO AND THE CEILING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL: he didnβt want to paint that ceiling. And for sure he didnβt paint lying on his back! Brushes and pigments were out of his mind at that time.Β
A DREAM TEAM OF PAINTERS FOR SISTUS IV: when Michelangelo was only 5 years old, the Sistine Chapel was the theater of the greatest contest of artists ever. Botticelli, Perugino, Ghirlandaio and many others met togheter in the chapel with a unique goal: show the world that unity is strenght.
