Abstract (en)

Study of Piranesi's architectural fantasies, his mission to reform modern architecture on the basis of fresh inspiration from antiquity, the unrealized project for the tribune of S. Giovanni in Laterano (Rome), the remodeling of S. Maria del Priorato (Rome), and his designs for decorative arts and architectural decoration.
