Raffaello Sanzio: Exploring the Uncertain Cause of Death

The cause of Raffaello's death is uncertain, but it is generally believed that he died of a fever. He fell ill in 1520 after a day of intense work in the Vatican. He died on April 6, 1520, at the age of 37. Some believe that he died of exhaustion, while others believe that he may have been poisoned. There is no definitive evidence to support either theory.
