Her work has been showcased in various exhibitions, including Paratissima in Turin and LAGO Showroom in Ancona, highlighting her contribution to the contemporary paper art scene. Giulia Civitico continues to explore paper as a primary medium for expressive, intimate, and tactile communication, bridging the gap between graphic design and manual craftsmanship.
