On 6 April 1520 Raffaello Sanzio died, undisputed icon of Italian art, world and genius of Renaissance painting.

The great artist from Urbino is still celebrated throughout Italy with several exhibitions.

It was guided by the painter Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci: "il Perugino".

He moved to Città di Castello, where he began to produce his first works.

Raphael worked in several cities such as Siena, Florence, in fact it is known his Florentine period.

His fame grew exponentially, also thanks to memorable works such as the "Marriage of the Virgin" (1504), "Trinity and Saints" (1505) and

Heliodorus and the tapestries of the Sistine Chapel.
