1. Casa Aurea di Nerone / Nero's Golden House Marker
"Veduta degli avanzi del tablino della Casa Aurea di Nerone, detti volgarmente il Tempio della Pace"; 1757, da Vedute di Roma.
Le acqueforti di Piranesi dedicate alla Basilica di Massenzio, confusa all'epoca con Domus Aurea e Tempio della Pace, fecero da riferimento per tutti i vedutisti degli anni successivi. In didascalia si rammenta che da qui proveniva la colonna colossale fatta collocare nel 1613 di fronte a S. Maria Maggiore; l'unica rimasta integra delle otto colonne presenti in origine nella navata centrale della basilica.
«Il PArCo di Piranesi» θ un itinerario nel PArCo tra le vedute del grande architetto veneto, realizzato in occasione del trecentenario della sua nascita.
"View of the remains of the Tablinum of Nero's Golden House, commonly called the Temple of Peace"; 1757, from Vedute di Roma (views of Rome).
Piranesi's etchings dedicated to the Basilica of Maxentius, confused at the time with the Domus Aurea and with the Temple of Peace, would become a point of reference for generations of landscape artists to come. In his caption at the bottom of the print, Piranesi notes that the colossal column erected in front of St. Mary Major in 1613 originated from this site; of the eight columns originally present in the central nave of the basilica, it was the only one to have remained intact.
«Piranesi's PArCo» is a tour through the PArCo of the views captured by the great Venetian architect, organized in celebration of the 300th anniversary of his birth.
