Description:

The Stanza d’Eliodoro (Heliodorus) was originally used for the private audiences of the Pope and was decorated by Raphael immediately after the Segnatura. The room's program is political and aims at documenting, in different historical moments from the Old Testament to medieval history, the miraculous protection bestowed by God on the Church. Faith had been threatened (Mass of Bolsena), in the person of its pontiff (Liberation of St. Peter), in its site (Encounter of Leo the Great with Attila) and in its patrimony (Expulsion of Heliodorus from the temple). These were also chosen to express the political program of Julius II (pontiff from 1503 to 1513), aimed at freeing Italy from the French.
