[...] Then it’s time for an exclusive visit to one of Rome’s palaces, arranged by Imago Artis Travel, where you can also meet the owners. [...] At Palazzo Odescalchi, renovated by Bernini in the 1660s, art restorers will explain their work on the family’s Caravaggios.

[...] Fulvio De Bonis unlocks places the typical tourist wouldn’t go to. Back at the edge of the Forum, he shows us into the Basilica dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, a church that was built on top of a pagan temple in the 6th century CE. As De Bonis points out, the institution’s age is reflected in the apse mosaic, which portrays Christ with dark eyes and hair — a more historically accurate visage than the blond, blue-eyed one often found in later depictions."

[...] De Bonis notes that travelers want off-the-beaten-path experiences within these well-known places. They don’t just want to see Tuscany’s highlights; “there is a world outside of Florence,” De Bonis says, “and travelers want to explore it."

[...] “It is hard to explain Prati; it is in the center of Rome and yet, you have the perception of being somewhere else,” says Fulvio de Bonis, the founder of luxury tour operator Imago Artis Travel, which has its headquarters in the neighborhood. “It’s quiet, classy, elegant, and I believe it is the right place to feel the true soul of the Eternal City, the authentic air that locals breathe every day.”.

[...] When I’m in the Raphael Rooms, I understand the political, cultural, and philosophical context that Raphael brilliantly represented in his art as if I was hurled 500 years into the past,” says Fulvio De Bonis, who offers bespoke Raphael-themed tours of Rome.

[...] the first time I met De Bonis, he was leading a tour of Rome’s secrets that didn’t include a single museum. I was blown away. Having once lived in Rome for two years and returning often to visit, I thought I had seen just about everything. De Bonis showed me how wrong I was.

[...] He also recommends exploring other charming villages, like the Medieval fishing town of Portovenere, and Sestri Levante, which was built on a peninsula surrounded by Silence Bay and Fairytale Bay.

[...] “The magic of Matera comes from its authenticity that reveals itself in the alleys, shops, and private homes carved out of Tufa stone that has always characterized our country" De Bonis said.
