Vedute di Roma is a set of etched city views of Rome published in 1779 by Giovanni Battista Piranesi from his own studio on the Via Felice, aimed at collectors and travellers. The prints show Roman palaces, fountains, church façades and street scenes drawn in fine, heavily hatched line with tonal sky and figures, offering designers a model for architectural perspective, layered depth and crowded street life.
