Thanks to the following list of room rentals in the Vatican Museums in Rome you can be really close to one of the largest and most important collections of masterpieces in the world and visit it without having to make long journeys.
Each year, around five million visitors come to admire the work inside the Vatican Museums, which makes them the most visited art collection in Italy (although not part of the Italian territory since they are attached to the State of the City Vatican).
In the Vatican Museums, you can admire the work that the master Michelangelo Buonarroti has left to posterity in the Basilica of St. Peter: the "Pieta", the first of Michelangelo's masterpieces, the decoration of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, with the scene of the famous "Creation of Adam" and the "Last Judgement", probably the most complex work of art ever created by a human being.
You will then enter the so called "Raphael Rooms", because they were painted by the famous Renaissance painter Raffaello Sanzio. Bramante was to suggest to Pope Julius II (the same who built St. Peter's as we know it today, who commissioned Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel and opened the Vatican Museums), the painter of Urbino, who was only twenty-five years old and that with his frescoes proved an immense artistic value.
The most extraordinary works created by Raphael are the "Dispute of the Sacrament", the "Parnassus" and the "School of Athens" in which the most important Greek philosophers are shown. The most important is Plato, which is depicted with the face of Leonardo Da Vinci, and beside him there is Aristotle, with the face of the architect, painter and scenographer Bastiano da Sangallo (which was called by his contemporaries "Aristotle"). The two are depicted at the center of the fresco, close to the vanishing point, to represent the importance of their doctrines for the Western thought.
