The Praefatio

The Project

What we are building, and why letters.

The Method

Four rules we don't break.

The Editors

Two students. Same school in Rome.

The List.

Twelve founders. Each chosen for a specific pivot, contradiction or turning point in their life that the public hasn't fully heard them explain.

The editors.

Julian and Rocco. Both based in Rome. One reads more long-form business writing than is healthy. The other brings the edits — and the introductions.
