With hands-on instruction, your art-expert guide will impart the secrets behind ancient techniques and modern methods.
You’ll also be inspired simply by being in Florence, one of the greatest art cities of all time. This is the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to the some of the world’s greatest artists and artworks, from Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, Botticelli and a host of other Old Masters.
All materials will be supplied to your small group of up to 8 people. Choose to paint a still life or create your very own copy of a famous work. Or perhaps you’d rather sculpt, finding inspiration to form the figure of your choice.

Fresco, meaning fresh in Italian, is the revered art of painting on fast-drying damp plaster with water based pigments. During the Renaissance, fresco painting was considered the true test of an artist's skill, since one had to finish before the plaster dried in order to ensure the adhesion of the image to the wall. During this 3-hour hands-on Florence Fresco Workshop, we'll learn basic fresco technique from a local Florentine artist who is a master of fresco painting. Proceeding along the same time-consuming, but deeply rewarding, process that artists like Michelangelo and Rafael used to paint some of the finest masterworks from the era, we'll put our artistic skills to the test, learning just what it takes to create the kind of stunning frescoes one can see throughout Florence. Along the way, we'll gain a deeper, tactile understanding of the development, creation, and legacy of Renaissance art. Florence Fresco Workshop Our session begins with a visit to the studio of our docent, an accomplished fresco artist, and a brief discussion of the history of fresco. What is it? How did it develop over the centuries? Does it really involve eggs? And, why was it considered the most difficult medium for a Renaissance artist? This will provide us with the necessary historical context to both appreciate the task we are about to undergo, and to look at Renaissance frescos in a new light, not merely enjoying them for their aesthetic quality but for the process by which they were actualized. We will also take a look at some of the greatest examples of fresco painting, including masterworks of some of Florence's greatest artists. Hands-on Guidance We will then be taken through the steps of preparing a surface, drawing and transferring a drawing (cartoon), and finally applying the paint. Be warned. It's difficult. It's also, however, a lot of fun. Along the way our docent will give us tips and advice, and continue his discussion about fresco and its place in the pantheon of art. At the end, we'll go home with our own hand-made fresco painting. Seeking some artistic inspiration? Try our Uffizi Tour or our Pitti Palace Tour. Take Aways The primary objective of this workshop is to explore first-hand the art of fresco painting by using the same materials and techniques of the Renaissance masters. Our docent's method of combining art historical knowledge with artistic practice provides for a unique educational and entertaining experience for travelers of all ages.

VISIT OF THE MUSEUM

Duration: 1 hour

Join this Rome tour and see Caravaggio's best artworks in Rome's churches — with exclusive-access to an art restoration lab.

This tour takes you behind the scenes of an all-female, art restoration lab, who hold the honor of being one of two labs in the world who have restored 3 Caravaggio's. You'll hear the behind-the-scenes story of the restoration of Caravaggio's Madonna of Loreto, in the church of Sant' Agostino. At the close of the tour, enjoy a complimentary aperitivo with the restorers, in the incomparable atmosphere of the lab. 

Before the lab, you'll visit the church of Sant' Agostino and see the Madonna of Loreto, a Caravaggio the master artist/scientists of the lab actually restored. Then, you'll see the masterful St. Matthew series at San Luigi dei Francesi.

In Sant’ Agostino, see the painting that shook Rome to its core; Madonna dei Pellegrini. This Mary may well have been a prostitute; fittingly, as Sant’Agostino was the Roman Church favored by courtesans, in the 15th century.

Madonna dei Pellegrini is one of 3 Caravaggio paintings restored by the master artisans/scientists who run the art restoration lab you’ll visit later in the tour. They hold the honor of being one of only 2 studios in the world who have restored 3 Caravaggio’s!

Continue to San Luigi dei Francesi to see Caravaggio’s masterful series from the life of St. Matthew. Caravaggio’s use of normal Romans as models and his homoerotic gaze are at their most evocative.

Finally, enjoy exclusive private access to an art restoration lab. Meet the artist/scientists who devote their days to restoring Rome’s masterpieces. Learn the techniques behind the modern restoration and Renaissance painting, and speak to those who have actually restored Caravaggio’s work. Even better, enjoy a complimentary aperitivo!

Join our Private Tour of Caravaggio’s Rome & Art Restoration Lab to see the best works of Caravaggio in Rome and meet those who work tirelessly to preserve Rome’s masterpieces.

Doge's Palace: A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the Doge’s Palace is the heart and symbol of the city of Venice, the residence of the Doge and the seat of the Venetian Magistracies. Visitors to the Museum will discover the history and culture of the Venetian civilization, from its very origins: the early doges, the fourteenth-century architecture, the renovations by Doge Foscari and the fifteenth-century Palace, the fire in 1577, the prisons and the later seventeenth-century improvements, all the way to the fall of the Venetian Republic. The interiors, superbly decorated by legions of artists, with masterpieces by Titian, Veronese, Tiepolo and Tintoretto, provide an extraordinary visitor experience.
Museo Correr: The museum was founded around the collection that Teodoro Correr bequeathed to the city in 1830. The design and early construction of the Napoleonic Wing, which closes off St. Mark’s Square on the side opposite the Basilica, date back to the years in which Venice was part of the Kingdom of Italy (1806-1814) ruled by Napoleon. It was built in the area previously occupied by the church of San Geminiano (an ancient church that had been reconstructee in the mid-sixteenth century by architect Jacopo Sansovino), and to each side, by the Procuratie Vecchie and the Procuratie Nuove, the two long buildings delineating St. Mark’s Square that formerly housed the offices and residences of some of the most important officials of the Venetian Republic. The architecture, decorations, frescos and Neo-classical style furniture offer significant examples of the culture and languages of this historical period. They bear witness, almost in contrast to the ancient Doge’s Palace, to the will to usher in a new era in the history of Venice, emblematically represented by this modern palace of kings and emperors.
Archaeological Museum: The National Archaeology Museum, one of the oldest public museums in Italy and in Europe, is home to an important collection of Greek and Roman sculptures, bronze objects and sculptures, ceramics, jewellery, coins, and a collection of Egyptian, Babylonian and Assyrian antiquities.
Monumental Rooms of the Biblioteca Marciana: On the first floor is the Vestibule, with the ceiling decorated by Titian’s painting of  La Sapienza, and the Library, with a vaulted ceiling that constitutes a veritable “manifesto” of Venetian Mannerist painting, consisting of 21  tondi painted by seven artists selected for the occasion including Titian and Sansovino himself. The most famous are the three  tondi by Paolo Veronese. The walls are decorated by canvases portraying the Philosophers, some of which were painted by Titian and Veronese.
