Piranesi's depiction of the basilica is highly detailed, capturing the intricate architecture of the building and the ornate details of the sculptures and decorations.

The Sant'Angelo Bridge is also depicted in the print, with its rounded arches and statues adorning the sides. The surrounding area is shown with figures of people and horses, adding to the sense of grandeur and activity of the scene.

Piranesi's use of light and shadow in the etching creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the imposing size and magnificence of the basilica and the bridge. The print is a testament to his skill as an artist and printmaker, showcasing his ability to capture the details and atmosphere of an iconic site in Rome.
