From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.
30 minutes of print industry analysis.
And I am Fernando Gusto Paseko.
Italy Secreta was first launched in 2020 as an Instagram page, satiating our cravings for blue waters and pasta through stunning visuals, allowing us to virtually travel during a time of lockdown.
It has since grown into a monthly digital publication, reaching Italy lovers globally and teaching us that there's a lot more to it than the stereotypes and representations we're used to seeing here.
Its creative director and co founder, Marina Caciappuotti, tell us about their second print issue, Estate Italiana, and about finding the right approach to sharing the places you love, giving voices to those who are too often forgotten, and the benefits of tourism.
Monica's Gabrieli Grandier spoke with Marina.
So Italica, Greta started completely as a passion project.
I used to live and work in New York and I used to work in media.
And also I was always like the only Italian person on the team.
So obviously everything Italy related was very much directed to me or just, you know, like, can I please have a list of places you love and so on.
But I also a bit, because I wanted to share everything that I loved about my country, but it also was born out of kind of seeing the same narrative repeated over and over abroad of our country.
And I was always, like, feeling very frustrated being like, there's so much more, you know, we're so much more than just the Amalfi coast, which we love, but there's more to it.
We're more than just Florence and Rome and Venice and also create something that wasn't only travel, but was about culture.
Because I think what people really love about Italy is not just that it's physically beautiful, but it is our culture.
