We will continue to pose uncomfortable questions to historians and get acquainted with the curious works of the Italian archaeologist, architect and graphic artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Giovanni, like his colleagues, the artists Hubert Robert and Charles Louis Clerisso, painted in the style of architectural romanticism and surrealism, that is, everything that he depicted on canvases was the fruit of his imagination. This is what the official history tells us. But is this even possible? The paintings clearly show that the people depicted in them live among the ruins of past civilizations and absolutely cannot at least bring them into a decent look, not to mention some kind of restoration. Either people were very lazy, or they could not work on such a scale and using technology unknown to them. The people depicted do not generally fit into the grandiose buildings in scale. That is, either Giovanni is a genius of fantasy, or he painted from nature, which could well be in reality.
