McCormick, emeritus, Wheaton College "Choice" (6/17/2013 12:00:00 AM) "Pinto has erected a fine monument for Piranesi and his architectural and artistic colleagues." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review-- "Bryn Mawr Classical Review" "Edward Lawson, Le Corbusier, Robert Venturi, Michael Graves, Robert A.M. Stern, Peter Eisenman, Daniel Libeskind, with their "imaginative responses to the shattered remains of ancient architecture", introduce and conclude the extensive reflections John. A. Pinto makes on the inseparable wedding of investigation and invention in the relationship between architecture and its past." --Biblioteca--Giovanna Curcio "Biblioteca" (6/16/2014 12:00:00 AM) "... the book offers a stimulating introduction to Rome in the mideighteenth century, when it was acting as the complex crucible of Neo-classicism. The author offers fresh perspectives on Piranesi, the response of architects to ancient ruins and the 'dynamic relationship between fragments and fantasy' in their work." --The Burlington Magazine--Jonathan Yarker "The Burlington Magazine" (11/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)
