What is this????

Hey Clondike,
It is a celebration of the 5th century of the birth of Raffaello (1483  1983) (Raphael was an Italian painter) the info and a link:

Raphael, was born Raffaello Santi at Urbino on April 6, 1483 and died in Rome on his 37th birthday, 1520. He received his early training in art from his father, Giovanni Santi. After his father's death in 1494, he studied with Evangelista di Meleto and Temoteo Viti, until his uncle, Simon Ciarla, took him to Perugia between 1499 and 1500. He became an apprentice to Perugino where he was employed with other assistants in painting the frescos of the Sala del Cambio. He was active in Florence from 1505 to 1508 and then went to Rome where he worked the rest of his life as a painter, architect, designer, and director of antiquities. He was the center of a group of artists and intellectuals at the papal court.
