Baldassarre Peruzzi is another architect who build the Villa Chigi (then Villa Farnesina) 1509-1511. Scientists
consider this building as a villa and a palace together. The first façade toward the garden/courtyard is like a
villa, another lateral façade toward the entrance like a palace: 9 bases with the symmetrical composition on
the 1st level, divided the floors with the strict cross to underline the levels, above the 2 nd level he built a
bigger cornice. The main façade towards, the garden, characterized by the Logga, there are also the arches
on the ground floor, to repeat the composition from the other façade.

What is the meaning of the Logga in the building? To create a connection between the interior part of the
building and the garden. Inside the logga were expensive paintings and fresco by Raffaello. So they worked
together but Raffaello worked as a painter. Then Raffaello worked on other frescos in another rooms near
the Logga. While Peruzzi himself worked as an artist and a painter in Perspective rooms, 1512. It was named
Perspective room because, in his frescos Peruzzi painted some architectural elements in order to obtained
architectural compositions, and he painted perspective columns in order to another time, to underline the
importance of the logga.
