History :The Tempietto — literally “small temple” — is a Renaissance masterpiece designed by Donato Bramante around 1502. It was commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain to mark the legendary site of Saint Peter’s crucifixion, nestled within the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio on Rome’s Janiculum Hill. This compact, commemorative martyrium immediately earned high acclaim among contemporaries; Andrea Palladio even featured it in his Quattro Libri as the only Renaissance example alongside ancient Roman temples.
This model leverages physically based rendering (PBR) workflows with high-resolution textures—natural marble and granite stone, aged metal for the roof, and subtle wear in creases and joints—for stunning realism under any lighting condition.
The interior space (cella) and the crypt below are not modeled—this version focuses exclusively on the Tempietto’s exterior.Crypt access and interior elements (like the relic hole) are omitted; these areas lie outside the scope of this upload.The marble an stone material is a procedural blender shader, not a texture.
