Takeaways
Description
The house on the Via Panisperna is infinite. Its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within it an ocean is imprisoned. Waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid. He understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the infinite house and its truths. There is one other person in the house-a man with a million faces called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge.
