Italian researchers have created a 3D reconstruction of the face of Renaissance master Raphael, which they say proves once and for all that the artist was buried in the Pantheon in Rome.

But scientists made another, more surprising discovery -- they think the artist, who lived from 1483 to 1520, gave himself a "nose job" when painting self-portraits, using some artistic license to "refine" his image in the works.
