Launched in October 2022 in Milan in collaboration with fashion brand Massimo Alba and Portofino Dry Gin, the latest issue of Sali e Tabacchi Journal is dedicated to the theme of Biophilia. Just as archaeologists reconstructed civilizations from individual fragments, Riv. 03: Biophilia seeks to rediscover the worlds of Mediterranean flora and fauna, questioning the ways in which they can be investi- gated and preserved, popularizing and defending traditions and cul- tures. Among other social, geopolitical and ecological manifestations of food, flora and fauna in our society, the issue seeks to approach is- sues related to notions of soil, seeds and access to resources; cultural identity and the ways in which humans, nature and technology can coexist; collective memory and knowledge production; as well as the possibility of allowing oneself to be open to the act of wonder and endless experimentation in an unrelenting approach to the animal and plant world, and its possibilities in the future to come.
