Florence Baptistery Layered Paper Art

Florence has no shortage of architectural masterpieces. The challenge is finding a new way to look at them.

This layered paper illustration takes a closer look at the Baptistery of San Giovanni, transforming its architectural details into a delicate three-dimensional composition.

Precision-cut layers of white paper recreate the rhythm of arches, windows and decorative elements. Carefully assembled and finished by hand, they produce subtle shadows that reveal the depth of the illustration as the light changes.

The neutral palette keeps the focus firmly on the architecture. No elaborate colours, no unnecessary embellishments. Just paper, geometry and an impressive amount of precision.

A contemporary interpretation of Florence's architectural heritage, made to be appreciated up close.

Florentine craft & Layered paper art

Florence has a long tradition of architectural drawing, decorative arts and skilled craftsmanship.

These layered paper illustrations offer a contemporary interpretation of that heritage. Architectural details are recreated through precision-cut sheets of paper, assembled and finished by hand to create depth, texture and delicate shadows.

A meeting of architectural observation, modern precision and traditional artisanal attention.

Use & Care

Layered paper art is delicate and should be handled with care.

  • Display indoors.

  • Avoid humid environments and sudden temperature changes.

  • Remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush.

  • Do not use water, solvents or cleaning sprays.

  • Avoid touching or pressing raised paper elements.

  • Protect the artwork from bending and compression during transport or storage.

  • For an especially striking presentation, display the artwork in a larger frame with a generous passe-partout, ideally leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of breathing space on each side. The additional space enhances the composition and gives the intricate paper details room to stand out.

Giulia Pagliacci

Layered Paper Art & Florentine Architecture

Florence-based architect and paper artist Giulia Pagliacci explores the city's architectural heritage through delicate three-dimensional illustrations.

Her work begins with a detail: a Gothic window, the curve of a façade, the geometry of a historic building. These fragments are reconstructed through precision-cut layers of FSC-certified paper, carefully assembled and finished by hand.

Light, shadow and negative space give depth to each composition, transforming paper into an unexpectedly sculptural medium.

Rooted in architectural observation and contemporary craftsmanship, her work offers a fresh perspective on Florence's familiar landmarks.

Florentine architecture, one carefully considered layer at a time.
