ON GENIUS FOOTSTEPS
Only in Italy can one find such a concentration of artistic masterpieces in what is, all things considered, a small country. This stems from a unique history, which began in the distant past and continued over the centuries, during which dozens of kingdoms, noble courts, bishoprics, and the seat of the Papacy—one of the great powers that has spanned the ages—flourished.

The result is that much of the city as we see it today, its monuments and churches, are his creation.

Follow Raphael's Life and Works in Rome
Among the trinity of Renaissance painters, who is the better -- Michelangelo, DaVinci, or Raphael? That's a tough call, but many would cast their vote for Raphael. We agree. Fortunately, you can observe the core of Raphael's art in one city, Rome. There, Pope Julius II started him off on a series of papal commissions that kept the young artist occupied until he died at the young age of 37
