The guide
One photo in. A story out.
-
Listen while you look up.
Audio starts in seconds, so your eyes stay on the view, not on the screen.
-
Every artwork has a story. Chiaro tells it.
A painting, a sculpture, a fresco. Chiaro tells you what it is, who made it and why it matters.
-
A private art historian in your pocket.
In a museum, Chiaro goes deeper: composition, symbols, the story behind the work.
-
Curious? Just ask.
Type or say any question. Chiaro answers out loud and checks the web when the answer is today's.
-
Works almost anywhere you point it.
Towers, bridges, a mural on a back street. If it has a story, Chiaro finds it.

About
Created in Rome. Used everywhere.
Chiaro means "clear" in Italian, and that's no coincidence. The idea was born in Rome, a city of incredible beauty but full of mysteries. Wherever we found ourselves after that, we were always asking the same questions: what is this, what does it mean, why does it matter.
Chiaro is the answer we wished we had. Point your camera at a painting, a building, a statue, and hear what's actually going on. We built it for ourselves. We're glad to share it.
