According to Vasari, Raphael's premature death on Good Friday (April 6, 1520), which was possibly his 37th birthday, was caused by a night of excessive sex with Luti, his mistress, after which he fell into a fever and, not telling his doctors that this was its cause, was given the wrong cure, which killed him.
Raphael's mother was known as Magia di Giovanni Santi. She was a part of the artistic community in Urbino, Italy, where Raphael was born in 1483. Magia's influence, along with that of his father, Giovanni Santi, who was also a painter, played a significant role in shaping Raphael's early exposure to art. Unfortunately, she passed away when Raphael was just eight years old.
The circumstances of her death have not been recorded.
She has one son; her daughter died from a drug overdose years ago.
Raphael died in 1520 after a brief illness on Good Friday. He was 37.
After his mother's death he lived with his stepmother for awhile. However his uncle Bartolomeo was his legal guardian.
No, Raphael Sanzio did not precede Giovanni Santi in death. Giovanni Santi, who was Raphael's father, died in 1494, while Raphael himself passed away later, in 1520. Therefore, Giovanni Santi died before his son.
