Historical Curiosities

Raffaello Sanzio, born in 1483 in Urbino, was one of the protagonists of the Renaissance, the golden period of Italian art. He worked for several Italian courts and left an indelible mark on the history of art, especially during his period in Rome under the papacy of Julius II.

An interesting aspect of Raphael is his ability to harmoniously combine the influences of his predecessors, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, creating a unique and recognizable style. His works are celebrated for the perfect balance between composition, color and proportion.

Maintenance 

To keep the bust of Raphael in perfect condition, it is advisable to clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the marble surface. If necessary, use a delicate detergent specific for marble, followed by rinsing with water and carefully drying.
