ローマでのイエズス会の芸術の宝物Gesù＆St Ignatius教会を含むガイドツアー

Our guide Tommaso had excellent knowledge of both churches. The two churches have incredibly beautiful art.

What an incredible underrated experience! The ceiling of the basilica st ignazio is an absolutely incredible piece of art by Andrea Pozzo. It’s so beautiful. You can spend ages just looking up at it. The sculpture and other art in the church are amazing too

Our daughter had visited Chiesa del Gesù and insisted we see it. This tour coupled it with another Jesuit church, St. Ignatius of Loyola. Neither disappointed! Jesuit artist Andrea Pozzo’s perspective skillfulness and trompe-l’oeil techniques are exceptional. Our guide was informative and described the techniques used, making sure we saw the tricks employed from several different places to appreciate the effect.

1-26 Church of St Peter in Chains to see Michelangelo’s Moses Although we felt like we climbed a zillion steps to reach it, we were happy to visit the Church of Saint Peter in Chains on the Esquiline Hill, to see Michelangelo’s Moses. The church is stunning, the stonework amazing, and the statue of Moses and its surround are exquisite. So worth the hike. The basilica originally was dedicated to the apostles, but the popularity of the ‘cult of the chains’ that arose after the supposed chains that bound Peter during his captivity in Jerusalem (kept in a casket) were brought to the church.
