Offers to move an obelisk for 90,000 ducats
According to Marino Sanuto's diary, Raphael offered to move an obelisk from the Mausoleum of Augustus to St Peter's Square for 90,000 ducats. He also planned an archaeological map of ancient Rome, but it was never made.

His last illness and a fatal bloodletting
Vasari blamed Raphael's death on debauchery, but modern researchers attribute it to a respiratory illness with high fever. A medical error proved fatal: doctors sent by the pope misdiagnosed him and tried to bring down the fever by bloodletting.

His will: the studio to Giulio Romano and Penni
In the fifteen days of his illness Raphael was composed enough to confess, receive the last rites and dictate his will: he left money for his mistress's care in the hands of his loyal servant Baviera, most of his studio to Giulio Romano and Penni, and asked to be buried in the Pantheon.
