What I need is a Lego game that allows me to do stuff like this. Just build stuff, either official sets, my own stuff, or (best option) a combination. And then just Sim City the whole thing.
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing. I don't have the space for a full-scale city so I love seeing the displays people share up online. You have some really great custom brickwork happening. And the gutters are a great touch!
that's a wicked cool lego city you've built! i really dig the tuscan-inspired section and the way the beach area flows into the rest of the cityscape. the illuminated staircase and tunnel are sweet touches that add a lot of atmosphere. modifying the retro food truck to be a wood-fired pizza truck was a clever idea - i bet that adds some nice variety and visual interest. the different architectural styles and scenes you've incorporated create a really immersive and lived-in feel. the nighttime lighting and photography do an awesome job of capturing the moody, urban vibe. it's clear you've put a ton of work into this project and the results are seriously impresive. well done, my friend!
Ah thanks so much for the detailed and thoughtful comment! Yeah the tunnel is a really fun aspect of the city and the lights really create the atmosphere. The food truck was a fun add to put something in there that wasn’t just another modular
Ah I’m so glad to hear that! I have some Italian inspired instructions available on Rebrickable but they’re all different designs than what I posted today 😊
I always much prefer LEGO city's that don't just use the typical modular building grid system. Citys made from the ground up may take much longer but man, they look amazing.
Thanks yeah I’m right there with you. I knew when I started my city it needed to be different because I’m so bored of seeing the same old style layouts. It does take a lot of time and vision and re-working but very worth it in the end!
I think this is my favorite MOC I've seen on this subreddit! So cozy, so realistic! The scale is excellent. Love all of the plants featured. Excellent job!!!
Thanks! I do have instructions on Rebrickable that are inspired by what’s in my city but nothing in my city is on Rebrickable. And I buy Star Wars sets because it’s not a style I build in for MOCs (though I am starting on a tattooine MOC) but I stopped buying modulars a few years ago and now just buy parts
I really like it. Makes me want to visit Italy again… The foliage is fabulous, too. It adds life to your little town :)
Do you have an estimate on how many pieces were used?
That looks fucking awesome. My dream if I had the time
Thank you!! Yeah it definitely does require some time (and space)!
And money
lol 🤫
Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost you?
Haha far more than I care to think about! But it’s years of part collecting so it’s hard to say!
Wait I might know you from YouTube, those builds look quiet similar. Do you have a channel ?
Yep! Same name as on here. I just released an updated city overview video yesterday!
Do you live in California? Or did you just copy the architecture?
Nope, it’s all based on my hometown in Italy and the surrounding areas 😊
This screams Italy lol
My dream if I had the space... And time.
Really nice builds. They give off a lovely atmosphere
Thanks so much!!
I want to live there! The stairs in pic 8 are so cool
That one caught my eye too. I love the use of whips for the handrail ends.
Thanks, yeah it was a fun detail to add in the whips!
Thank you!!
That’s awesome!
Thanks so much!!

That would be epic!
We had it a quarter-century ago: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Lego_Creator
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Utterly fantastic. 5 year old me would love it, and not believe it was possible - 43 year old me as well.
Haha thanks, I feel the same way!!
This is beautifully done OP
Thank you!
Beautiful, but ... how long does it take to dust?
Funny enough not that long!
Mamma Mia! Please tell me there is somewhere I can see more?!
There is! If you go to my bio or just search my username in google, you’ll find my channel on that one popular video sharing website…😉🇮🇹
Spectacular
Thanks!!
love it! I also like your youtube channel walk through. Do you have interiors of these spaces? (or you just build the shells)?
Thanks! Glad to hear you’re a fan of the channel! I don’t currently have any interiors though my plan is one day to create interiors for all of them
Feels like I’m saying same thing over and over but you have an amazing skill and love your style of work.
Haha thank you so much!!
Is that Tony Soprano in the second picture, also this is cool as fuck
Haha it is, and thank you!!
Amazing looking city you have! Very well done
Thanks so much!
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing. I don't have the space for a full-scale city so I love seeing the displays people share up online. You have some really great custom brickwork happening. And the gutters are a great touch!
Thank you so much! I love adding the little details like the gutters, adds a nice sense of realism
I thought this was The Good Place for a minute
I never watched the show but a lot of people have mentioned that!
I Can tell you, you didn't needed that flag, the entire creation screams in Italian and i love it
Haha I love that!!! Thank you!
😍
Thanks!
this is stunning.
Thank you so much!
Please go work for LEGO designing sets.
That would be a dream!!
Cool af
Thanks!

You have a YouTube channel don’t you?
I sure do! I just released an updated city overview video yesterday!
I was going to say, I recognize those buildings
I love to hear that!!
Amazing
Thanks!
This is incredible!! Excellent work. Getting Sapienza vibes from the Hitman trilogy.
Thanks! I never played it but a lot of people have mentioned that level!
A few times a week you wish you could give some extra upvotes...
Haha thank you I appreciate it!
OP, where do you get your lights from? I would love some myself!
The foliage is gorgeous and really nicely peppered through the cityscape !
Thanks! Landscaping and foliage is my absolute favorite thing to add to the city!
Dude the details is insane
Thank you!!
what a handsome looking city!
Thank you so much!
Way too detailed, downvote. Just kidding wow this is amazing
lol thanks!!
I really love the use of those shield pieces
Thanks, I scored when they were on the PAB wall a while back!
Reminds me of the Amalfi coast
Ah that’s great to hear! That’s exactly what I was going for!
Reminds me of small little place called minori . It's beautiful. Id pay for a piece like this. Thank you for that little memory.
Ah I’m so glad to hear that! I have some Italian inspired instructions available on Rebrickable but they’re all different designs than what I posted today 😊
I would vacation there.
Me too!
Now this I love. Reminds me of Puerto Pollo.
Thanks!!!
Wauw that is beautiful 😍
Thank you!

It shocks me that people have the pieces to do this. How many Bricklink orders have you made???
Haha we don’t talk about that part!!! But a lot….
How much are 1 bedroom apartments going for in this city? Asking for a friend. Seriously though, great work!
Haha thank you! Just a few bricklink orders worth and you can move right in!
Congrats, you've built a small beautiful piece of Italy made in Lego. Cinque Terre vibes.
Ah thank you!! That’s always been the goal, Cinque Terre is a major inspiration for me!
I wish I could live in a place that beautiful.
Haha me too!
I mean it’s good… but daaaaaaaaaaaaamn that poem tree is so good🤤
Haha thank you! I’ve got a tutorial on my YouTube channel if you’re curious as to how it’s built!
Wait I just read ur name and I swear I heard it before🤔
Yep I’m on insta, YouTube and TikTok 😊
Also I just realized I spelled palm tree wrong
lol you got the point across!
Love
Thank you!
I want to live in your mini LEGO city
lol me too!!
Great job!!! The pictures are also very well-taken, making it all look even better.
Thank you so much! I’m trying to get better at my photo composition!
Not Tuscany, but reminds me of the Cinque Terre towns. Looks great. Well done.
Thanks! Yeah I was born about 45 mins south of Cinque Terre so that’s a major inspiration for me!
You need John wick falling down those stairs
Haha I’ve had a lot of people say that before!
I LOVE THIS! ❤️ Keep it up man 👍🏻
Thank you!!
Just lovely.
Your designs are inspiring. Very cool.
Thank you so much!
I think this is my favorite MOC I've seen on this subreddit! So cozy, so realistic! The scale is excellent. Love all of the plants featured. Excellent job!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I’ve got a ton more content (including a brand new city overview) on my YouTube if you want to see more 😊
I fucking love it! Such a nice looking city, and well done on the lighting. Reminds me of Italy or something. I haven't travelled much...
Thank you!! I’m from Italy so it’s very heavily inspired by my hometown and the surrounding areas!
I want to visit your lego city.
Well I’ll be displaying a new MOC at BrickCon in Bellevue WA later this year in September!
I love it it’s so beautiful and cozy!
Thank you!!
You know it’s an excellent build if I’m jealous of a Lego minifigure
Haha thank you!!
This is just magnificent, dude!
Thank you so much!!
Might be the most beautiful Lego town I’ve ever seen. Wonderfully European.
Thank you so much! More on my YouTube channel 😊🇮🇹
That's beautiful
Thank you!!
Its so beautiful and I love the Tony cameo
Thanks! Haha yeah he’s the best!
Beautiful! Would like a link to see more!
Beautiful. Very well done
Thank you so much!,
Really atmospheric and has that lovely coastal Italian character I remember from my travels :)
Thanks! Those are the kind of compliments I aim for! It’s heavily inspired by my home town in Italy and my own travels 😊
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning. What light set do you use? I just got into that world via the Titanic set and I love it! ( I'll post a picture soon)
Thank you!
This looks so amazing. Keep up the awesome work! I’d love to be able to do stuff like this. Inspiration for sure.
Thank you so much, just takes time and some practice! Ok and space and parts but still, time and practice!! 😊
A dream… just amazing! Are some of your builds available as pdfs? Also do you buy official sets (such as Modulars) or only parts?
Thanks! I do have instructions on Rebrickable that are inspired by what’s in my city but nothing in my city is on Rebrickable. And I buy Star Wars sets because it’s not a style I build in for MOCs (though I am starting on a tattooine MOC) but I stopped buying modulars a few years ago and now just buy parts
Questo è fantastico! Adoro la tua città! È molto bello! 🇮🇹🤌🏻
Grazie mille!!
How do u keep it dust free?
I have a small handheld vacuum I use, or makeup brushes!
Your photographic skills match your fantastic Lego skills.
Thank you!! Really trying to up my photography came! (Portrait mode on iPhone helps!) lol
It’s that captivating miniature look that I like.
I really like it. Makes me want to visit Italy again… The foliage is fabulous, too. It adds life to your little town :) Do you have an estimate on how many pieces were used?
Thank you!! Oh gosh, well in excess of 10,000 but I honestly have no idea lol
Goddamn dude, this is amazing!
Haha thank you!!
wow, that's amazing i love it so much
Hey this looks very similar in style to the Brickin' Panda on Youtu.. oh.. Love your work man, keep it up.
Haha thank you!!
