Raphael’s Rooms, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica (3hrs)

Description

A tour concentrated on the figure of the famous Renaissance painter: Raffaello Sanzio. The four rooms known as the “Stanze di Raffaello” formed part of the apartment situated on the second floor of the Pontifical Palace that was chosen by the Pope Julius II della Rovere (pontiff from 1503 to 1513) as his own residence and used also by his successors. The pictorial decoration was executed by Raphael and his school between 1508 and 1524. An incredible sequence of masterpieces that were completed by the coworkers of Raffello, who died prematurely in 1520. The private visit also includes the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica.
