Giuseppe Vasi (Corleone, 1710 – Rome, 1782) was one of the most important Italian etchers, architects and vedutists of the 18th century, famous for monumentally documenting the city of Rome before the advent of photography.
His fame is mainly linked 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 etched plates that systematically catalog the city. Each volume was dedicated to a specific theme (gates, squares, churches, palaces, villas, etc.). The Prograndis Gran Prospetto: In 1765 he published a gigantic bird’s-eye panorama of Rome, printed on no fewer than 12 copper plates, still regarded today as one of the most extraordinary cartographic and visual documents of eighteenth-century Rome."
