The Caravaggio ceiling at Casino dell'Aurora

The private tour of Galleria Doria Pamphilj
A private tour, quoted on request, of the Doria Pamphilj gallery on Via del Corso: the Hall of Mirrors, Velázquez's Innocent X beside Bernini's bust, and three Caravaggios, in a palace the family still lives in.
The private visit to Palazzo Colonna
A private visit, at an hour you choose, to the palace the Colonna family has lived in for eight centuries: the 76-metre Baroque gallery, the family's paintings and Princess Isabelle's apartment, on the days it is closed to the public.
The Scavi tour to the Tomb of St Peter
A one-hour descent, in a group of about 12 with a guide of the Fabbrica di San Pietro, into the Roman necropolis under the nave of St Peter's Basilica, along the old path to the Tomb of Saint Peter.
