“His nose was, let’s say, slightly more prominent,” said Professor Mattia Falconi, a molecular biologist who came to the conclusion that Raphael certainly made his nose look more “refined.”
分子生物學家法科尼教授表示：「他的鼻子可說是變得略為挺拔。」法科尼斷定拉斐爾確實有讓自己的鼻子看起來更「精緻」。

Falconi, along with forensic anthropologists and other experts, reconstructed Raphael’s face with tissue-layering techniques and captured 80 percent of the original face.

After comparing the result with other portraits painted by Raphael’s contemporaries, the research team projected a much burlier Raphael that looks slightly different from his self-portraits.
在與拉斐爾同時代畫家所作的肖像畫比對後，研究團隊建構出一個較魁梧的拉斐爾，看起來稍微有別於他的自畫像。

For a long time, there have been talks about how the bones dug out in 1833 may not have been Raphael’s, as some of his students were later buried near him.

However, Falconi said that there is no doubt about the result because the reconstructed image looks nothing like the students who were buried there.
但法科尼教授補充說這個結果無庸置疑，因為重建的圖像完全不像任何埋葬在那裡的學生。
