Bufalini Chapel
The Bufalini Chapel is a side chapel of the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, Rome, Italy. First chapel on the right after the entrance, it houses a cycle of frescoes executed c. 1484-1486 by Pinturicchio depicting the life of the Franciscan friar St. Bernardino of Siena, sainted in 1450.
==History==
The chapel was commissioned by Riccomanno Bufalini〔His full name was ''Niccolò di Manno Bufalini di Città di Castello''〕 (~1450 - 1506) for his mortuary chapel in the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli. Bufalini was a prelate, citizen of Città di Castello, who worked as abbreviator '〔The abbreviators ''di parco maggiore'', which are all prelates draw the Papal bulls, and send them when they are written. ()〕 and consistorial lawyer in Rome.〔 His family coat of arms (a bull with a flower) appears widely in the chapel. Several important painters such as Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Luca Signorelli, Pinturicchio and others, had just finished the wall decoration of the Sistine Chapel (1482), but had returned to their hometowns, with the exception of Pinturicchio, who had formed a workshop including some of the collaborators in that work. Pinturicchio, who had been so far obscured by Perugino's fame, could exploit his presence in Rome to obtain the commission of his first great work, the Bufalini Chapel,〔 also favored by the common origin with Riccomanno. The painter had already executed at least a work for the latter's family, a ''Madonna'' now in the Municipal Gallery of Città di Castello (c. 1480).〔
No documents about the works' execution exist, but they are generally dated to around 1484-1486.〔〔Other sources date the frescoes incorrectly to the 1490s.〕 The frescoes suffered some damage and repainting, and were subsequently restored in 1955-1956 and 1981-1982.
