Cities have always been important protagonists in our history, but now, more than ever, they are taking the leading role in our developing culture. The intensified urbanization and increasing importance of cities like London, Paris, New York and Mexico, which are becoming through their assets and appeal more prominent than the nations they belong to, is evident to us all.In this series, the most prominent cities in the world are given a chance to reassert their unique personalities and show us their individuality via a pictorial tour and compelling anecdotes. They can show off their exceptional monuments, both historical and contemporary, their particular ambience and flavor, their visual and cultural singularity – the things that mark them out in the face of the encroaching tide of homogeneity.The series brings not only revelation and discovery to new visitors, but also rediscovery and renewed enthusiasm to the cities’ inhabitants, too easily blinded by their frenetic lifestyles to the extraordinary monuments, visual panoramas and street life they live amongst. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, city!”Born in Italy, Carlo Stanga has always been deeply passionate about drawing. After graduating in architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan, he chose to further his education by pursuing studies in art leading Italian designer Bruno Munari was an amazing experience that influenced his way of seeing the world.As an editorial and advertising illustrator, Carlo works with major Italian and international clients in Europe and the US.His distinctive style continually wins Italian illustration awards, his work has been selected by The American Illustration Annual, and he also won the Gold Medal Award in the Creative Quarterly’s contests as well as Awards of Excellence from Communication Arts.In this new series dedicated to the main cities of the world, Carlo lets each city speak for itself, while he takes pleasure in combining what he oves illustration, architecture, design, art and travel.Carlo lives and works in Berlin.- 210 x 250 mm - 8 ¼ x 9 ¾ inches- 112 pages, full color printed on uncoated 140 gsm paper.- Paperback, cover with flaps on 300 gsm cardboard.- English text
