PESAIIESE (1509) the Palazzo Chigi, called the Far- iiesina, and decorated its ceilings with fres- cos. He painted also many other frescos, the best of which are those in S. M. della Pace. In these he endeavoured to rival Michelangelo and Raphael, and some of them recall the grandeur of their works. In 1520 he succeeded Raphael as architect of St. Peter's, and held that position until the sack of Rome by the Spaniards in 1527, when he was captured and plundered of all he possessed. He was employed in archi- tectural and engineering work until 1535, when he returned to Rome and began the Palazzo Mnssimi, which he did not live to finish. He was the last of the great artists of Siena. C. <fc C., Italy, iii. 38-4 ; Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 5G9, G15 ; ed. Le Mon., viii. 211) ; Ch.
