A view of market in a Roman piazza with tall apartment buildings (with tile roofs, typical added Renaissance facades and roof top garden) shown in the background. Lower stories of palazzi lined with shops, a rosticeria, and a corner cafe. Typical terra cotta and ochre colored stucco is rendered very nicely. Pleissner has captured a Roman scene of everyday life with people socializing in the marketplace as well as laundry drying from windows.
