Giuseppe Vasi (1710 – 1782) was an Italian engraver and architect, best known for his vedute of Rome interpreting the city as a work of art. He was born in Corleone, Sicily and later moved to Rome. He published a series of ten volumes including 240 engravings of vedute of Rome, renowned for their exacting topographical accuracy and lively social observation, some of which are part of the collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He worked for noble patrons like King Carlo III of Naples, and Pope Benedetto XIV. His scholars include Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
