Tempio di Clitumno tra Foligno e Spoletti ... (Temple of Clitumnus between Foligno and Spoleto ...)
1765
Artwork Information
Like the other small views of Rome, Piranesi first etched this scene in 1748. The Temple dedicated to Clitumnus, a tributary of the river Tiber, is in fact an ancient tomb which was converted into a Christian church in the early Middle Ages. Its source is a picturesque, clear pool, which remains a popular site even today. The etching is a faithful record of the architectural structure, which still remains in relatively good condition.
