31 December 2025 \ Emporio
With the second volume of Codici di Bellezza, our editorial journey continues, shifting its gaze from landscape to threshold, from territory to pause.
A more intimate investigation, born from places that have been lived in and passed through: the station, the Emporium, spaces rich with memory, where time settles and continues to generate meaning.
Objects are the protagonists of this narrative.
They arrive from afar, crossing hands, eras, and distances. They carry with them the trace of those who created them and those who cared for them: a silent genetics revealed through use, material, and gesture.
The Emporium thus becomes a point of gathering and passage. A temporary shelter, a pause that feels like a deep breath. Here, objects are welcomed, observed, and brought back into listening. Caring for them is an act of gratitude, a way of restoring value to what has helped shape our way of making and, more deeply, our way of being.
Volume Two takes shape as a living archive, where the past is not preserved but set in motion once again. The pages follow the rhythm of the pause, the silence that precedes action, the waiting in which identity finds its voice. The graphic project and the choice of materials accompany this slow time, allowing forms to speak with discretion.
Codici di Bellezza is an invitation to slow down.
To stop for a moment.
To recognize, in form, one’s own poetics.
Then, to set off again.
Because every object continues its journey.
And, together with it, so do we.
