Scuderie del Quirinale's maxi exhibition dedicated to Raphael reopens virtually

The exhibition Raphael 1520-1483, staged at the Scuderie del Quirinale on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of the famous Urbino artist Raphael Sanzio, virtually reopens its doors to the public.

Through social channels it will be possible to follow video stories, insights and curiosities from backstage, as well as the most beautiful works on display, details and details about the painter’s art.

#RaffaelloOltreLaMostra will be the hashtag to stay up-to-date with the curators’ stories and to virtually participate in the encounters hosted at Palazzo Altemps: from Silvia Ginzburg, who tackles the theme of Raphael’s youth, to Antonio Natali, who recounts the painter’s Florentine period, to Alessandro Zuccari, who delves into his activity in Rome.

Video pills by the curators and leading scholars will delve into the works and major themes of Raphael’s painting activity. The series, introduced by curator Marzia Faietti with Some Reasons, Among Many, to Love Raphael, will start with Matteo Lafranconi, curator and director of Scuderie del Quirinale, beginning with The Death of Raphael. Next, co-curators Francesco Di Teodoro and Vincenzo Farinella will delve into the Letter to Leo X, the Villa Madama project, Raphael’s relationship with antiquity, his patrons, and his younger years. Finally, scholar Achim Gnann will present a reflection on Raphael and Giulio Romano.

In addition, with the hashtag #RaffaelloInMostra, video walks through the exhibition rooms will be offered, accompanied by details and curiosities about the works and accounts of the exhibition’s layout, which boasts masterpieces from the most important collections around the world: 204 works, of which 120 were created by Raphael, including paintings and drawings.
