Gianfrancesco Penni
Born in Florence to a family of weavers, Penni entered Raphael's workshop very early in his life, and collaborated with him on several works, including the famous Rooms of the Vatican Palace, as well as the frescoes of Villa Farnesina, both in Rome. Heinrich Wölfflin and some other writers credited him with the entire execution of the Raphael Cartoons, with Raphael only creating the initial design, though more recent writers believe Raphael did much of the work himself.
Raphael Hotel
The Raphael Hotel is a historic nine-story hotel located at 325 Ward Parkway in the Country Club Plaza district in Kansas City, Missouri. It is a locally significant landmark that originally opened in 1928 as Villa Serena Apartment, a block luxury apartments. Its Italian Renaissance Revival style architecture was designed to complement the Spanish style of the nascent Country Club Plaza developed in the early 1920s. The nine-story building was purchased by the J.C. Nichols Company in 1974, remodeled and re-opened as The Raphael in 1975. The 126-room hotel is patterned after small European hotels. The property is a member of the Historic Hotels of America since 2001 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Raphael Hotel is affiliated with the Marriott Autograph Collection. As of 2017, Raphael hotel had a restaurant named "Chaz".
