“Trinity” (Raphael) and “Madonna and Child with Saints” (Perugino)

A brief history of the chapel of San Severo in Perugia

While the 11th century Camaldolesi Church was restored in the 18th century, the San Severo Chapel was preserved the way it was.

The Cappella di San Severo is graced by a famous fresco, the upper part of which, a “Trinity” (Trinità) was painted by Raphael. It is the only surviving work by the artist that can be admired in Perugia.

The lower part of the fresco, depicting a number of saints, is by Perugino and dates from 1521.
