The Thousand and One Faces of Rome
Lavinia Scafi, creator and illustrator of the project.
Romana, after working as an architect in New York and Paris for several years, decided to return to Rome and graphically narrate the many nuances of her splendid city.
“Looking for a painting for a friend, I discovered “The Parisianer,” an imaginary magazine with real covers inspired by “The New Yorker.”
Since then, the walls of my 25 m² Parisian space have been invaded by postcards and posters.
<What a pity that the same thing doesn't exist in Rome...>
<And do it yourself, you're an architect!>”
Le mie storie illustrate vi faranno innamorare di Roma, un disegno alla volta.
“Cercando un quadretto per un’amica ho scoperto “The Parisianer”, una rivista immaginaria con vere copertine ispirata a “The New Yorker”.
Da quel momento le pareti dei miei 25 m² parigini sono state invase da cartoline e manifesti.
« Che peccato che non esista la stessa cosa su Roma...»
« E fattelo da sola, sei architetto! »”
