Eight New Books on Raphael Published for 500th Anniversary
As we commemorate the 500th anniversary of Raphael's passing, various publications delve into the life of the Renaissance icon. 'Raffaello. Il giovane favoloso' by Costantino D'Orazio (Skira, 2020) recounts Raphael's story through his subjects. An illustrated biography titled 'Raffaello' by Chiara Stigliani and Ernesto Anderle (BeccoGiallo, 2020) is also available. Nicole Dacos's 'Le Logge di Raffaello' (Jaca Book, 2020) examines the Logge at the Vatican, while Luca Nannipieri's 'Raffaello. Il trionfo della ragione' (Skira, 2020) presents a secular view of 'Sposalizio della Vergine' (1504). Additionally, 'Raffaello pittore e architetto a Roma' by Francesco Benelli and Silvia Ginzburg (Officina Libraria, 2020) serves as a guide to his Roman works. 'Raffaello – Lettera a papa Leone X' (Skira, 2020) features a 1519 letter advocating for ancient ruins, and Francesco Fioretti's novel 'Raffaello. La verità perduta' (Piemme, 2020) adds to the discourse. The exhibition catalogue 'Raffaello 1520-1483' (Skira, 2020) complements the Scuderie del Quirinale exhibition.
