For lovers of art history, our Theme Tour “Michelangelo v Raphael in the Vatican City” is just for you! This tour focuses on the works and the story of the rivalry of these two Renaissance geniuses, who despite being so different from each other, had a tremendous respect for, and took great inspiration from, each other.
