As part of the UPA group, with offices in Abu Dhabi and Baghdad, UPA Italia positions itself as a reference for large-scale architectural projects, ranging from hospitals to villas, from auditoriums to schools, with a strong focus on innovation and functionality. UPA Italia's ability to integrate aesthetics and technology is at the core of its vision, leading to design solutions that meet the needs of public and private clients in Europe and the Middle East, including countries such as Italy, Switzerland, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

Leading the firm, Paolo Lettieri combines a pragmatic approach with a deep sensitivity to local and international contexts. With over twenty years of experience, Lettieri has led multidisciplinary teams on significant projects, developing architectures that reflect a constant balance between tradition and innovation, functionality and creativity. His education at the Polytechnic University of Milan, under the guidance of figures like Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, and his study of texts by Bruno Zevi and works by Frank Lloyd Wright, are integral parts of a design philosophy open to cultural influences and inspired by numerous international travels and collaborations.
