Happy Medium
A decade on from its debut show, the always-on radio station that is Monocle 24 has become a much-loved and influential global broadcaster. Here’s how we did it.
Stepping forward
In Veneto, despite economic uncertainty, traditions hold on and Italians stay sharp in style and business.
Off the beaten track
Seaweed farming in Patagonia, cave-dwelling in Italy and preserving ancient buildings in Japan: these hoteliers are reviving once-forgotten corners of their native lands with tasteful tourism for travellers seeking authenticity.
Best in class: Fratelli Bonvini
The vintage milanese stationer keeping the written word alive.
Paper stocks
In a world of sliding newspaper sales, Rome daily ‘La Repubblica’ offers a beacon of hope for printed media.
Food
We sample seafood at a one-time grocery store and try mezze at a former 1950s beauty salon that’s now a Turkish taverna. We also wet our whistle with some lively Italian aperitivos.
