Borgia Apartment

Why go

These were papal rooms before they became part of the museum route. Their painted walls and ceilings let you read decoration as an environment rather than as pictures removed to a gallery. The association with the Borgia papacy gives the rooms a historical frame, while Pinturicchio’s work supplies the immediate visual reason to enter.

What to look for

• Pinturicchio’s decoration covers the former papal rooms.
• The painting belongs to the late fifteenth century.

Useful to know

• Look around each room as a whole before focusing on individual painted scenes.
