  Apollo: Pirro Ligorio: The Renaissance Artist, Architect and Antiquarian
Ligorio may have been the leading antiquary and archaeologist of the mid-sixteenth century, chief architect to two successive popes and designer of one of the most delicious buildings of the renaissance, but his critical reputation has never flourished.
Ligorio and Vasari, who took Ligorio's post at the Vatican on the death of Pius IV, were bitter rivals and ideological enemies, with Vasari accusing Ligorio of belittling his hero Michelangelo.
Similarly, the somewhat crude touch in Ligorio's figurative drawings was the result of his rejection of renaissance perspective in his attempt to recreate ancient Roman art as closely as possible.

 David R. Coffin: Pirro Ligorio
"The wide range of Ligorio’s activities has created a diffuse bibliography across several disciplines, many of its sources in publications which are not easily found in most libraries.
His study draws on a lifetime of distinguished work on and around Ligorio, whose voluminous manuscripts have been mined by scholars.
Pirro Ligorio (1510–1583), an Italian architect and antiquarian who designed the Casino of Pius IV and large portions of the gardens of the Villa d’Este, has long been a notoriously elusive subject because of his daunting erudition and because his notebooks and drawings are in collections scattered throughout the world.

Consisting of twelve plates that fit seamlessly together, Ligorio’s map is firmly set in antiquity; it shows the roads of ancient Rome; and it also shows detailed reconstructions of several thousand ancient buildings.
So we do not know what evidence inspired Ligorio’s identifications, or what buildings he has restored on the basis of solid evidence and which ones on the basis of pure guesswork.
