Welcome to the most intriguing, jaw-dropping, and utterly captivating walking tour you never knew you needed! Forget the dry history lectures—this is a tour about the women who made Renaissance Italy come alive.
Explore the world of Renaissance courtesans, remarkable women who played a pivotal role in the politics of Renaissance Europe. Consider them as muses who inspired some of the greatest artists in history. These women were not only beautiful; they were also resourceful.
Discover seven unforgettable women, each immortalized in paintings by Caravaggio and Raphael. These were not just pretty faces—they were trendsetters, intellectuals, poets, and, in some cases, royal influencers.
