- Summary expansion
- The "Nuova raccolta" includes a view of San Giovanni di Malta detto il Priorato (plate 13), one of the very few architectural designs of Piranesi to come to fruition, and a church considered to be the first Neoclassical building in Rome. Thematically, the book is divided according to type of building or structure: churches, piazzas, palazzos, fountains, ports, bridges, entryways, arches, portals, and gates (including city gates, garden gates, etc.), arches, baths, aqueducts, tombs, temples, and a miscellany of top tourist attractions such as the Colosseum, Trajan's Column, and Theater of Marcellus. As stated in the title, these images are all proper "vedute," that is, the monuments are depicted in the context of the surrounding structures (adjacent or connecting buildings, piazzas, fountains, columns, obelisks, etc.) and many of the scenes include people admiring the monuments--walking, mounted on horseback, or riding in carriages. Cassini's are some of the last "vedute" by a notable artist before the more scientific archaeologists of the early 19th century began clearing away the accumulated debris, soil, and vegetation from the ancient monuments, freeing them (as in the case of the Arch of Titus) from later architectural accretions, and performing restorations. Cassini's 18 images of the gates of Rome are particularly valuable in this regard, since a number of those entrances have been closed, demolished, or otherwise altered
