This is found in via G.B Vico

In 1847 the artist P. Mattei painted a foreshortening of the actual via G.B. Vico as he was fascinated by the particular nature of the construction that has around it a wide flight of stairs.
In the background the façade of the building is interrupted by various openings: on the long side of many structures various wide arches stand out on several floors; on the short side a delightful loggetta, at one time covered, offers a good support to the scenographic superimposition of the floors.
