Stanza della Segnatura, Musei Vaticani (Room of the Signature, Vatican Museums) In der Stanza della Segnatura (Arbeitszimmer Julius' II. della Rovere) sind die ersten Arbeiten zu sehen, die Raffael 1509 nach seiner Ankunft in Rom ausführte. Alle wichtigen Werke in diesem Raum stammen von seiner Hand. Die Dekorationen befassen sich mit dem Thema des menschlichen Geistes in seinen höchsten Ausformungen: Religion, Wissenschaft, Kunst, Philosophie und Ethik.

Denker und Wissenschaftler der Antike, einige mit den Gesichtszügen von Zeitgenossen Raffaels, sind in ein Gespräch vertieft, während sie in einer eindrucksvollen Basilika umherschlendern.
