biography
Giovanni Battista Piranesi, also known as Giambattista, was born on October 4, 1720, in Mogliano Veneto, near Venice, to Angelo Piranesi and Laura Lucchesi. From a young age, he showed great interest in architecture and art, training in Venice with his uncle Matteo Lucchesi, a hydraulic engineer, and architect Francesco Scalfarotto. Influenced by Neopalladian classicism and Bolognese Baroque scenography, he studied scenography and perspectives. In 1740, he moved to Rome, where he developed his unique style, immersed in Roman antiquities, becoming one of the greatest engravers and architects of the Italian eighteenth century. His visionary engravings, such as the famous Carceri d'Invenzione from 1745 and the Vedute di Roma, revolutionized perspectival and archaeological representation, stimulating artistic imagination.
