Taormina is not just a place to experience, but also to observe, read, and interpret.
This is the idea behind the graphic project created by Michela Puglisi, a member of Taoxenia, a visually striking work that tells the story of the city through a one-of-a-kind illustrated map.
A map that tells the story of Taormina
The project depicts Taormina in an artistic and detailed vision, where monuments, churches, main streets, and symbolic places of the city take shape in a single illustration.
Each element is marked by progressive numbers, linked to a clear and organized legend at the bottom of the image, making it easy to recognize:
- the main historic monuments
- the most significant churches
- the iconic streets and squares
- the places that express Taormina’s cultural identity
The result is a map that combines aesthetics, usefulness, and cultural value, ideal for tourists who want to find their way and discover the city, as well as for those who live in Taormina every day.
A project between art, territory, and identity
This illustration is not just a map, but a true visual story of the territory, able to highlight Taormina through the language of graphics and art.
A concrete example of how creativity and territory can interact, in line with the mission of Taoxenia: to promote and tell the story of Taormina through the people, skills, and projects that are part of it.
