"L'Incendio del Borgo" (The Fire in the Borgo) is a renowned fresco by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino). Created between 1514 and 1517, the fresco adorns the Stanza dell'Incendio del Borgo, one of the four Raphael Rooms in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. These rooms were commissioned by Pope Julius II and continued under his successor, Pope Leo X, and are famous for their intricate and harmonious Renaissance artistry.

The fresco depicts an event from the life of Pope Leo IV, where a fire broke out in the Borgo, the district around St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, in the year 847. According to legend, the pope extinguished the fire from a distance with a benedictory sign. Raphael's work is not only a representation of this miraculous event but also a showcase of human reactions to disaster, featuring various groups of people in a state of panic, heroism, and desperation.

The composition is divided into two main parts: on the left, the chaotic attempts of the Borgo's inhabitants to extinguish the flames and save their belongings, and on the right, the divine intervention by Pope Leo IV, who appears at the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, calmly raising his hand to stop the fire. The fresco is noted for its dynamic figures and the dramatic contrast between the mortal struggle and the serene papal figure.

Raphael's mastery of movement and emotion is evident in "L'Incendio del Borgo." The work is a testament to his ability to convey narrative and to his skill in the use of perspective and foreshortening. The fresco is also significant for its influence on subsequent artists and its role in the development of narrative painting during the Renaissance.

As a part of the Vatican's artistic heritage, "L'Incendio del Borgo" has been studied and admired for centuries, contributing to Raphael's reputation as one of the great masters of the Renaissance. The fresco remains an important example of the cultural and artistic achievements of the period, reflecting the humanist themes and the interplay between divine and earthly realms that characterize much of Renaissance art.
