The City of the Vatican in Rome is an autonomous State governed directly by the Pontificate and officially recognized through the "Patti Lateranensi" of 1929 after Christ by the Italian Republic.
The Sistine Chapel, wanted by Pope Sisto IV della Rovere, from which it takes its name, was built by Giovannino de'Dolci between 1475 and 1481 after Christ.
In the apartment located at the second floor of the Pontifical Palace chosen by Giulio II della Rovere as his own residence and then also used by the following Popes, Raffaello painted frescoes in four rooms, from then known as the "Stanze di Raffaello" (Raffaello Rooms).
