Italian Line had begun planning new ships already in 1958. At the time they were planned to replace the ageing MS Saturnia and MS Vulcania, but at the time, when competition from the jet aircraft had not yet had a huge impact in the Mediterranean area and jobs were needed for Italian sailors and shipyard workers, the construction of new superliners seemed like an attractive idea to Italian Line's executives. As a result, the new ships grew from the originally planned 35,000 tons to nearly 46,000 tons, the largest ships to be built in Italy since SS Rex and SS Conte di Savoia of the 1930s.

Unable to foresee the change that lay ahead for the shipping business, Italian Line planned the ships as true ocean liners, divided into three classes, with little thought given to cruising as an alternative use. Oddly even for a liner, all cabins below A-deck were windowless. On the technical side however the ships were amongst the most advanced of their time, featuring retractable stabiliser wings, highly modernised engineering panels and many other advantages, most notably the funnels which were especially designed to keep smoke and soot out of the rear decks. The funnel design proved to be highly effective, and it's a testament to their design that most funnels in modern passenger ships are built along similar principles.

The interiors of the new ships were in the Art Deco style so often associated with liners. The Raffaello's interiors were designed by architects such as Michele and Giancarlo Busiri Vici who had not worked on liner interiors before, as a result of which the Raffaello gained highly futuristic, more distinctive but admittedly more sterile interiors than her sister. Despite being planned as identical sisters, the Raffaello was 0.7 meters (2.29 feet) longer, 1.02 meters (3.34 feet) narrower and some 22 tons larger than her sister.
