History

CitiesofPaper was born in Venice, Italy, from an idea by Enrico in 2020, in a year that profoundly changed the way we live and interact with the world. In a period in which borders have amplified and distances have been felt more than ever, there was a need to find a way to travel in immobility. Unable to physically explore cities and new destinations, the idea was to create an alternative: a journey made of paper or canvas, color and imagination. This is how CitiesofPaper was born.

"In the beginning, this project was a personal refuge, a response to nostalgia and the desire to escape. Through art, I began to draw the cities I had visited, mentally retracing the streets and avenues I had walked in the past. I could rediscover the atmosphere of those places, relive the memories linked to precious moments. But I didn't stop there. Imagination took over, leading me to explore cities that I had not yet seen, but that I felt close to thanks to the stories, images and experiences shared by others. The project, initially born as a personal passion, began to grow rapidly and transformed into a real community of lovers of architecture, design, travel and art."

Today, these artworks of art have reached 6 of the 7 continents, 30 countries and over 200 different cities. Each city is more than a geographical place: it is a personal experience, a reflection of those who love or dream of it. Over the years, I have had the privilege of creating work for people from all over the world, who have told me unique stories about their favorite cities. Each commission has become a way to connect, to explore new places through someone else's eyes and heart.

CitiesofPaper is not just art: it is a bridge between people and places, between past and future, between dreams and reality.
