Modern Rome
1757
Step into Giovanni Paolo Panini's ultimate fantasy art gallery, where the walls are lined with his greatest hits of 18th-century Rome. This isn't just a room; it's a grand, imaginary museum where the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and St. Peter's Square hang side-by-side like a VIP list of landmarks. In the center, well-dressed gentlemen and artists chatter and sketch, acting as our guides through this architectural wonderland. It's basically the 1757 version of an Instagram feed dedicated entirely to the Eternal City, showcasing Panini's obsession with capturing the glory of his contemporary Rome.
