Pantheon

Gaetano Pesce
Landmark

Gaetano Pesce:

“The Pantheon in Rome is an incredible innovation. The building is done in bricks, there are huge columns inside because the Romans discovered the arch as a way to build in vertical, one arch on top of the other, so you can go up and up and up… It’s something very simple but it represents real innovation in architecture.”
