Artist Colleen Corradi Brannigan has taken it upon herself to illustrateall fifty - five of the fantastical cityscapesdescribed in Italo Calvino ’s 1972 novel Invisible Cities . She ’s not finished with this project , but she ’s pretty darn close at this point in time . As you may see from her above depiction of the migratory , clone city of Eutropia , she ’s working with several media to draw the outre locales described by Marco Polo . Here ’s but a sampling of her complete cities .
The pipe metropolis of Armilla .
The city of Dorothy .
The city of Zaira .
The stilt metropolis of Zenobia .
The city of Zirma .
The metropolis of Zora .
