My name is Raffaello Sanzio, most of the people called me Raphael. I was born on April6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy.
When i was 15, I became an apprentice at the workshopof the painter Pietro Perugino, called by that name because he was the most famous painter in the town of Perugia. Icontinued to paint in the style that Perugino taught me.
My frist painting was called The Vision of a Knight and my frist major work was The Marriage of the Virgin which was painted in 1504.
In 1508 I was called to Rome by Pope Julius II.I became so popular whilst I was in Rome that I was known as the "Prince of Painters".Then, I spent 12 years of my life in Rome painting.
I died on my 37th birthday( April 6, 1520) and was buried in the Pantheon in Rome. That was ashamed because I died that early, i hope people will never forget me.

Ok, Mia, you've painted a short, sweet portrait of Raphael. Maybe you could have filled in the details of his private, non-professional life; that would have helped FIRST!
