Raffaello+Santi+(Sanzio)+da+Urbino

Buon giorno, signore e signori!  This is what I would say if I were still in Italy; Good day Ladies and Gentlemen! But anyways, since this isn’t a Italian class I will start talking about something you all want to hear, __some details of my life:__

I was born on the 6th of April in the year 1483 in Urbino with the birth name Raffaello Santi (Sanzio) da Urbino to my father, Giovanni Santi, and to my mother, Magia Ciarla. My father was a goldsmith who later on became an artist just like me. When I was just eight years old my mother had past away

in 1491, and 3 years later, my father past away. My father had already taught me a lot about art that I needed to know. Around 1494 I went to Perugia to become a student of Pietro Vanucci. With the age age of 17 I was already known as a master of art (1500). After I was a student I went to florenz where many of my great paintings were

created; like the one of Madonna del Cardellino. Also, I was asked to do many portraits, for example for pope Julius 2nd. In 1514 I was also the building constructor from 1515-1546 of the St. Peters Cathedral in Rome. I had many great achievments in my Life so I decided to also become a teacher. Some of my students were Francesco Penni, Giulio Romano and

many more. I died on the 6th of April,1520 in Rome. It is not sure if I died on a trip to Rome because I there got Malaria or if I died because of a disease I got through my many affairs. I had left behind the women Margharitia Luti who I loved, back at my house. I was a great Artist and Architect!

__ I contributed to the Renaissance: __ ...with my architecture and my art. My art was a great example for people now, and back then to show what great and beautiful art really was and still is. My architecture also contributed to the Renaissance.

__Why did I think this was particularly important:__

...with my art I was able to be a great example for the youth that wanted to paint. I showed that even with a very early age you could master anything. My architecture was also very important to make Italy a country with many attractions. Though, I think my art was the most important because I was able to express and show the world many things with my paintings. Especially, precision.

Arrivederci!
