    A Tale of Two Cities, Told in Ink and Color

    In 2020, as China and Italy marked the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties, two illustrators—one from Xi‘an, one from Rome—joined hands to create this unique hand-drawn journal.

    For over two thousand years, Chang’an (today‘s Xi’an) and Rome stood as the shining anchors of the ancient Silk Road. Though separated by vast deserts and mountains, these two civilizations shared a remarkable history of exchange in goods, ideas, and art. This book is a celebration of that enduring bond.

    What‘s Inside

    This bilingual edition (Chinese and English) presents the two cities through the distinct but harmonious artistic voices of Tian Dan (China) and Gabriele Genini (Italy). Rather than a conventional guidebook, In Love with Two Cities is a visual diary: iconic landmarks, hidden streets, and fleeting moments rendered in each illustrator’s personal style, offering readers an intimate, side-by-side view of Eastern and Western urban culture.
