Giuseppe Vasi (Corleone, 1710 – Rome, 1782) was one of the most important Italian engravers, architects and vedutists of the 18th century, famed for monumentally documenting the city of Rome before the advent of photography.
His fame is mainly tied to a colossal work divided into 10 volumes, published between 1747 and 1761: "Delle Magnificenze di Roma antica e moderna": a collection of some 240 engraved plates that systematically catalog the city. Each volume was devoted to a specific theme (gates, squares, churches, palaces, villas, etc.). The Prograndis Gran Prospetto: In 1765 he published a gigantic aerial panorama of Rome, printed on 12 copper plates, considered to be one of the most extraordinary cartographic and visual documents of 18th-century Rome today.
