The Vatican Museums were born with the private works of Julius II who, when he was elected Pope in 1503, moved his collection to the Octagonal Courtyard. Among the works we find the Apollo del Belvedere, the Venus Felice, the Nile, the Tiber river, the Sleeping Ariadne and the group of Laocoon and his sons.
The Sistine Chapel is among the most visited monuments in the Vatican. Famous for Michelangelo's frescoes and the extraordinary vault.
The Sala a Croce Greca was designed under the pontificate of Pius VI, between 1775 and 1799 by Michelangelo Simonetti. In fact, it became the vestibule of the Pio Clementino Museum, so much so that the inscription Museum Piuma dominates the access portal.
But the name Gabinetto delle Maschere derives from the beautiful mosaic, coming from various areas of Villa Adriana in Tivoli, which depicts bucolic scenes and theatrical masks.
Partly built at the time of Pius IV, it was doubled in length by Michelangelo Simonetti in 1776 to house the collection of statues and groups of animals; some works have been greatly restored and some rebuilt again. The collection was organized and formed by the sculptor Francesco Antonio Franzoni, who was one of the most important sculptors and restorers of ancient sculpture in Rome in the late 1700s.
Upper Galleries - The Candelabra Gallery collects archaeological finds from the Roman era. In the Gallery of Tapestries, Flemish tapestries from the 16th century and Roman tapestries from the 17th century are on display. Tapestries of different origins and dates are also located in the Gallery of San Pio V.
The Gallery of Geographical Maps is an exceptional cartographic representation of the regions of Italy, created between 1580 and 1585 on the orders of Pope Gregory XIII. The gallery is located along the itinerary that leads to the Sistine Chapel.
The four rooms known as those of Raphael formed part of the apartment in the Papal Palace chosen by Julius II della Rovere (pontiff from 1503 to 1513) as his residence and also used by his successors. The pictorial decoration was created by Raphael and his pupils between 1508 and 1524.
The Borgia Apartment is a series of six monumental rooms in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican City, which today form part of the itinerary of the Museums in which, since 1973, the Collection of modern religious art has partly been housed. The rooms of the Borgia apartment were created as a private residence for Pope Alexander VI and his family, and decorated with an extraordinary cycle of frescoes by Bernardino Pinturicchio and assistants, datable to 1492-1494.
