About us - PAISA'

Many ideas, one vision.

Landscape never has a single dimension: it is a knowledge that connects history and nature, culture and ideas, progress and inspiration. With over 30 years of practice in the Landscape Architecture sector, PAISA’ studio is an interdisciplinary group of professionals capable of hybridizing different knowledge to satisfy the multiple aspects that involve Landscape Architecture.

Today, our team includes Landscape Architects, Architects, Agronomists, Naturalists, Engineers and Designers, in a mix of skills to cover every aspect, from design to construction of the works up to the management of the works.

Open Grounds Farm, North Carolina USA

From early experiences in environmental management on large-scale farms to a broader vision of the landscape. The idea of landscape design begins to take shape.
Urban Planning and Golf Design

Formation of the Gueltrini Stignani Associati studio in Ravenna and the start of long-term collaborations—with Andreas Kipar on urban plans and projects (Green Plan of Ravenna and the new exhibition district in Rimini), and with Ron Kirby on golf course design in Europe and Italy (The Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland, and Salobre Norte, Gran Canaria).
Urban Planning and Urban Design

A lasting collaboration begins with Cino Zucchi Architetti, focused on the design and implementation of urban parks—such as in San Donà di Piave—and various urban plans, including the urban renewal plan for Settimo Torinese (1st prize in a design competition) and the urban expansion plan for the city of Ravenna, Parco Cesarea.
Renaturalization and Urban Regeneration

Collaboration with Kyle Philips and Intertecno Spa for the Verdura Golf Resort & Spa in Sciacca, Sicily, along with other regeneration projects, including the redevelopment of the former sugar factory area in Cesena. A professional partnership is established with Mijic Architects for a range of urban recovery initiatives, such as the former Rimini Trade Fair redevelopment, including Parco Ausa and surrounding spaces near the new Convention Center.
Founding of Paisà Landscape Srl

Driven by the ambition to pursue a multidisciplinary path, Antonio Stignani founds Paisà in Ravenna. The aim: to integrate diverse design disciplines with over twenty years of experience, with participation, research, and innovation at the core of future development. Paisà grows into an interdisciplinary team specializing in Landscape Architecture.
Ravenna Seafront Park
1st prize in an international ideas competition, in collaboration with AgenceTer
Marks the beginning of a five-year development plan covering over 35 km of coastline in the Municipality of Ravenna—focused on environmental protection, sustainable use, and the promotion of tourism along the coast.
A Time for Change

A phase of reinvention: the team evolves, and a new future takes shape. Investment in design competitions and new partnerships leads to key achievements—the winning design for the new hospital in Andria, and the 04 PARK project in Monte Coralli, the new national sports center for motocross and mountain biking. Collaborations with top studios in Milan and Europe support structural growth, with a new operational base established in Milan alongside the historic Ravenna office.
From North to South

Projects now span the entire country—from the winning proposal for the redevelopment of the Ex Manifattura Tabacchi in Turin to the design of a 4 km urban boulevard in Palermo. New international projects launch in Gibraltar and Saudi Arabia, expanding horizons and learning from diverse landscapes
Opening of Cantine Paisà in Milan

Driven by quality, passion, and dedication, Paisà continues to grow. A new office opens in Milan—Cantine Paisà—serving as a hub for an expanding team of international landscape designers and reflecting the studio’s identity and values.
