In addition to being a painter and architect, Panini was a professor of perspective and optics at the French Academy of Rome. Some British landscape painters, such as Marlow, Skelton and Wright of Derby, also imitated his capricci. His style influenced other vedutisti, such as his pupils Antonio Joli and Charles-Louis Clérisseau, as well as Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto, who sought to meet the need of visitors for painted "postcards" depicting the Italian environs. Panini's studio included Hubert Robert and his son Francesco Panini. German soldiers in 1944 posing with a Pannini picture – Carlo III di Borbone che visita il papa Benedetto XIV nella coffee-house del Quirinale a Roma – at the time looted from the Naples Museum In addition, King Carlos IV, when he was Prince, bought several of his works that are still preserved in the Prado Museum and in the royal palaces. The Spanish monarchs appreciated his work in such a way that, commissioned by Filippo Juvarra, he sent paintings to decorate the Lacquer Room of the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso. In 1754, he served as the prince (director) of the Accademia di San Luca.
He taught in Rome at the Accademia di San Luca and the Académie de France, where he is said to have influenced Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In 1719, Panini was admitted to the Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon. Some of his works included the Villa Patrizi (1719–1725), the Palazzo de Carolis (1720), and the Seminario Romano (1721–1722). In Rome, Panini earned a name for himself as a decorator of palaces. In 1711, he moved to Rome, where he studied drawing with Benedetto Luti. As a young man, Panini trained in his native town of Piacenza, under Giuseppe Natali and Andrea Galluzzi, and with stage designer Francesco Galli-Bibiena.
