Giovanni Battista Piranesi was born in Venice in 1720. He was trained as an architect, became an artist and designer, and was the presiding genius of the Neo-Classical movement in Italy. In 1740, he went to Rome where he began documenting by means of engravings the ancient architectural ruins located there.
