Two Raphael women star in Rome show

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 28 - Raphael's famed first female portrait and his even more famous last one are the stars of a new show at Palazzo Barberini that is hosting 50 works from the Galleria Borghese until June 30 as the storied Roman museum undergoes EU-funded restoration.
    The Young Woman With A Unicorn (1505-6) is being exhibited alongside the Portrait of a Young Woman, aka La Fornarina, widely believed to be the artist's lover and painted a couple of years before his death after an intemperate night of lovemaking at 37 in 1520.
    The show 'Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Masterpieces From The Borghese Gallery At Palazzo Barberini', is one of the most keenly awaited exhibits in the Italian capital this year.
