what would you tell your child, when she asks about the ruins? "they must have been a great people, my love, to have built such great artifacts." "then why are they gone?" "I do not know." "was it something bad?" "perhaps. I do not know." "that's scary!" "it is." https://t.co/Ueqn9lN3Za

This is an older painting by Canaletto, in 1742 you may notice the arch seems to be in worse condition than in later paintings – this is because Pope Pius VII got Giuseppe Valadier to restore it in 1821 https://t.co/FdQqEa6z66
