It’s called “The Extravagant Way. Palazzo Te and the Genius of Giulio Romano” Emanuele Colarossi’s documentary directed by Antonio Carbone, which pays tribute to the five hundred years of Giulio Romano’s extraordinary masterpiece, created in 1525 for Federico II Gonzaga. The appointment is today, Monday October 13 at 9:10 PM at Rai Storia, for the series “Italy. Journey into beauty”. When Giulio Romano, Raphael’s favorite student and heir, arrived in Mantua in 1524, he played a key role at the Gonzaga court. The vision of this architect, painter, entrepreneur, urban planner and prefect of the city’s factories, inspired by ancient Rome, will profoundly change the image of the city.
