The villa is owned by the Italian Government it uses Villa Madama for press conferences and international guests. While parts of the villa were rebuilt, it was never completed. After Alessandro de' Medici's illegitimate son (Giulio Alessandro de' Medici) became the 2nd Medici pope, as Pope Clement VII in the year 1523, work continued in 1524 to 1525 but stopped again in the year 1527 during the military event called the Sack of Rome.The villa suffered damage during this time. Finally, both Baccio Bandinelli from Florence and Giovan Francesco ("il Fattore") also worked there.Īpart from the Raphael loggia, this villa's greatest artistic component is the Giulio Romano's salone, with its beautiful vaulted ceiling. Giovanni da Udine finished the stucco bas-reliefs, which was imitating work that was found in Nero's Domus Aurea, which was recently rediscovered. The decorations are by Baldassare Peruzzi and Giulio Romano. The person responsible for which design still remains unclear. Antonio da San Gallo produced the final plans of the Villa he supervised the actual construction as well.

However, without Raphael present to smooth over disagreements, they always quarrelled. The construction began in the year 1518 and was passed on to Raphael's disciples, who were one of the most ingenious teams ever constructed a site. In 1520, Raphael died when he was 37 years old at this time, work at this villa was far from being completed. The reigning pontiff (Leo X) cousin, Cardinal Giulio de' Medici commissioned the original design of Villa Madama from Raphael.
