Nella vita di Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Tutta la vita1762
Publishes “The Campus Martius of Ancient Rome”
In 1762 the series of etchings “Campo Marzio dell'antica Roma” was printed; like the other series of those years, it already shows the hallmarks of his style: a striving for monumentality, for majestic buildings and spaces hard for the eye to grasp.
1763
A papal commission for the Lateran, never realised
In 1763 Pope Clement XIII commissioned Piranesi to build the choir of the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, but the work never materialised. The age of monumental building in Rome was over, and commissions were few.
1765
Dispute with Mariette: the “Dialogue on Architecture”
In his “Letter” of 1764 the French connoisseur P.-J. Mariette called the art of the Etruscans and Romans derivative and imitative, and that of the Greeks original and unsurpassed. Piranesi answered with the “Dialogue on Architecture” (1765), stressing the technical perfection of Roman buildings and their creative reworking of tradition rather than copying.
