| The Piccolomini Library is a monumental environment of the Siena Cathedral. Located along the left aisle, before the transept, it was built in 1492 by the Archbishop of Siena, Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini Todeschini later Pope Pius III to house the very rich book heritage collected by his uncle Pope Pius II. Between 1502 and around 1507 it was completely frescoed by Pinturicchio and aides, including the Bolognese Amico Aspertini and the young Raffaello Sanzio. |
