Stefania Giannici folds, prints and paints papers from around the world into light, water-resistant jewellery: her paper-bead necklaces are the signature piece, along with boxes, notebooks and decorations. She was a founder of the Calle Longa District of Santa Croce ateliers, and after the 2019 acqua alta she even made pieces from paper the flood had damaged.
