Lesson 1: Raffaello and the Pala Baglioni
You can admire this painting in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. But did you know that Raffaello painted this altarpiece for the Baglioni Family chapel in Perugia ? Hear about the dramatic events Raffaello witnessed in Perugia in July 1500 that went into history as the Red Wedding or Blood Wedding and were immortalized in this very painting.
