Thanks to an interactive system, it is now possible to watch closely both the story of Cupid and Psyche – by Raphael, Giulio Romano and Giovan Francesco Penni - and the special pergola and animal species - by Giovanni da Udine - based on a Raphael drawing present in Villa Farnesina, home of Agostino Chigi, famous rich banker and Raphael’s generous contractor who died five days after him.
The website has been developed thanks to the scientific project of Antonio Sgamellotti - member of the Lincei – and Virginia Lapenta – the Villa Farnesina’s curator – together with Eliana Siotto and Gianpaolo Palma of Visual Computing Lab ISTI-CNR.
Enter and navigate freely in the “Digital Lounge”, a typical example of the teamwork of Raphael and his pupils, members of the so-called “Raphael’s workshop”.
Italo supports this initiative while awaiting to return and visit live the magnificent Villa Farnesina and the exhibition Raphael in Villa Farnesina: Galatea and Psyche, curated by the research group coordinated by the Lincei member Antonio Sgamellotti, foreseen from 6 October 2020 to 6 January 2021.
