Raphael's Secret Loggia Gets Major Restoration

Step into the hidden gem of the Vatican: the Raphael Loggia, a Renaissance masterpiece painted by Raphael himself, tucked away for VIPs like presidents and the Pope. After centuries of weathering and humidity damage, a $5.5 million, five-year restoration is underway—using lasers to gently clean water-soluble paint and new windows to shield the art. Funded by the Stephen A. Schwarzman Foundation, the project also includes a digital archive, documentary, and training program for restorers, ensuring this 500-year-old art treasure lives on for generations.
