The Digital Piranesi

Price tag

Piranesi's son, Francesco, added a price tag in the last state of plate II, probably in the early 1770s. He indicates the location of the press in the "Strada Felice," near "Trinità de' Monti." The price for the sixteen etchings was twenty paoli, a fraction of the Roman currency called scudo. ["Presso l'autore a Strada Felice vicino alla Trinità de' Monti. Fogli Sedici, al prezzo di paoli venti."]
