At the young age of twenty, Raphael Sanzio is considered the new star of the Renaissance. In Rome, the centre of the world, he paints for cardinals, kings and the pope. He becomes the architect of St Peter’s Basilica and gets increasingly caught up in the power struggles of one of the most bloody, exciting and fascinating epochs of European history. Raphael is engaged to the daughter of a powerful man but he never marries her. His most personal and scandalous picture shows another woman - naked. Her name is Margherita Luti.
