Urbino - Raphael


The city, known as Urbinum Mataurense, was a stronghold during the Gothic Wars in the 6th century. In 538 it was conquered by the Ostrogoths through the Byzantine general Belisarius.
Pepin the Short gave Urbino to the papacy in 754.The town was later somewhat independent until about 1200 when it became the property of the House of Montefeltro. They obtained the office of Podesta in 1213, but the population rebelled and allied with the municipality of Rimini (1228), which finally regained its independence in 1234. However, the nobles of Montefeltro eventually took control again and kept it until 1508. In the battles between the Guelfs and the Ghibellines, when the factions supported either the papacy or the Holy Roman Empire, the Montefeltro lords of Urbino were the leaders of the Ghibellines in Marche in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino is better known as Raphael. He was born in Urbino in 1483. Together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
