Spiritual awakening by Michelangelo: discover the red thread that links David to the Sistine Chapel! This is not standard experience above David , this is the MarioGesu's tour with priority entrance , Mariogesu is a native guide and an actor that bring you inside Michelangelo's code , the creation process, a wonderful life message. His tour is high profile, aimed at couples, families with children and friends, for those who want to know the secret of Michelangelo. If the David is the fulcrum, the surprise will be to discover how the artist "surpasses" the David with his "Prisoners", just a few meters away, created through the "unfinished" style. By choosing this experience, easily understandable to everyone because it is expressed with images and metaphors (therefore easy to understand even for the little ones), you will participate in a unique perspective: the red thread that binds Michelangelo's entire work, the artistic and spiritual reason of the greatest artist of all time.

It was worth every cent to have Mario do such an excellent job He guided us through a philosophical and visual tour of Michaela gelo’s spiritual journey through his art work.

We had a great experience with our guide Mario Gesu. He was very informed, entertaining and included the members of our group in his very instructional tour of the David and Michelangelo’s works. He didn’t just describe the statue but instead educated us as to the reasons behind Michelangelo’s work. He made us think as to what Michelangelo thought process was as he created his masterpiece. He is obviously very passionate about his subject and has researched the background thoroughly. The lesson we learned - or rather reconfirmed as we have done other tours over the years is the value of having a guided tour. We would not have gotten as much from going to the Museum and seeing the works without a good guide. Mario excelled and we are the better for it. It was well worth the additional cost.

I did not realize that after you pay the Viator fee, you still need to pay 20 euros to enter the museum. It was expensive. I liked the guide, Mario, he was passionate, but I also wanted to know more about the art in general. What he had to say was philosophical and interesting, however.
