On this walking tour you will explore the lives of Renaissance courtesans — the women who helped shape Renaissance Italy’s cultural and political scene. Rather than a series of dates and facts, the experience focuses on seven unforgettable women, each immortalised in paintings by Caravaggio and Raphael. Along the way you’ll hear how these courtesans acted as muses for great artists and played visible roles in the politics of Renaissance Europe.
You will learn about their wider influence: not just beauty, but resourcefulness, intellect, poetry and fashion-setting that could affect courts and rulers. The stories you’ll hear mix passion and intrigue with scandal and dangerous ambition. As you move through the city, the guide will paint a balanced picture of women admired and condemned by their society, showing how their lives intersected with art, power and reputation in a time when those forces were tightly entwined.
