This is our Italian art tour, where we will follow the footsteps of three famous sculptors: Bernini, Borromini, and Michelangelo.

The work portrays a majestic Moses, sculpted in 1513.
Seated in a serious attitude, he rests with one arm on the tables, and with the other holds his long glossy beard.Next, we will go to the Campidoglio, one of the seven hills Rome. The next stop is Piazza Navona, one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. This square is famous for having 3 fountains, the most famous of them being The Fountain Of The Four Rivers, designed by Bernini.

Piazza di San Pietro in Vincoli 4/a
San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) is a Roman Catholic church in Rome, best known for being the home of Michelangelo's statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. San Pietro in Vincoli was built during the fifth century to house the relic of Saint Peter’s chains when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. The Basilica San Pietro in Vincoli is well worth visiting not only because of its unique decoration and Michelangelo’s massive statue of Moses, but because it is unlike any other Roman church.
