About this work

This is a black-and-white map-like drawing of a small town. You can see a castle on a hill labeled *La Rocca*, a bridge called *Ponte delle Torri*, and winding roads marked with numbers like 370 and 400. Buildings are simple shapes, and the terrain has hilly lines. A few streets are named, like *Via del Ponte* and *Strada S. Elmo*. The artist, Christo, turned this into a printed object—part of a set of 19. It’s not a real map but a stylized view, almost like a puzzle piece of a place. Look up lithography next to see how prints like this were made.
