This small chapel contains one of Raphael's earliest frescos (around 1506) of the Holy Trinity and Saints.
The upper section (Holy Trinity) was painted by Raphael. (Unfortuntely, the figure of the Father is lost).
He could not finish the lower part of the fresco because he had to leave for Rome for more important business!
The lower part (The Saints) was added in 1521 by Perugino, his former teacher, after Raphael's death.
The chapel is located on Piazza Raffaello .
