Avanzi, the remnants of ancient Rome, tell a tale of grandeur and resilience. In Firenze and Fiesole, these fragments transport us back in time to an era of architectural marvels. The Avanzi del Teatro Romano stands as a silent witness to the theatrical performances that once captivated audiences. Tempio del Sole della Luna, also known as Temples of Isis and other deities, evokes a sense of mystique and spirituality. Its ruins whisper stories of worshipers seeking solace in its sacred halls. The Veduta degli avanzi del Tempio della Pace Piranesi reveals the beauty hidden within decay. Through Francesco Piranesi's etching, we glimpse at the intricate details that adorned this temple dedicated to peace. The Frigidarium at the Baths of Diocletian showcases Roman engineering prowess. This monumental structure served as a testament to their advanced understanding of hydrotherapy and relaxation. Pompeii's Temple of Isis enchants with its engraved depiction by Francesco Piranesi in 1788. It transports us to a city frozen in time by volcanic ash but still pulsating with life through its well-preserved ruins. The Villa of Maecenas in Tivoli offers breathtaking views from every angle. As captured in the Views of Rome series, it invites us into an opulent world where luxury met natural splendor. Baths of Trajan stand tall amidst nature's embrace, reminding us that even emperors sought respite from their duties within these walls. The etchings from c. 1760 immortalize this place for generations to come. Aqueducts were lifelines for ancient Romans, none more impressive than Nero's Aqueduct depicted in another engraving from c. 1760. These towering structures ensured water supply throughout the empire's capital city. Ruins often hold secrets waiting to be discovered; such is true for Villa dei Sette Bassi's portico.
