Among his pupils was Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Piranesi worked together with him on the Vedute and some are signed both by Vasi and Piranesi. The two disagreed on the movement during their time to denigrate the work of Baroque architects, such as Bernini and Borromini. Vasi favored the more modern architectural approach approach and Piranesi favored the more classical architecture. They often had extreme disagreements and reportedly Piranesi threatened to kill his teacher.
