    In the old library is painted in compartiments, on the wall, the principal actions of pope Pius II. the design by Raphael, and the coloring by Bernardino Pinturichhio, who was a disciple of Perugino at the same time with Raphael. There are the three Graces, in marble, standing in the middle of the library, which are fine antique pieces, but one of them has lost its head. (English)
