The outstanding Sali e Tabacchi Journal is a publication that explores the relationship between the creative arts and Italy’s unknown rituals, habits and traditions. Founded by Elisa Carassai and Leonardo Pellegrino, the magazine is designed by Aisslinger Pellegrino and has published its fifth issue, Riv.05, “La Via del Fuoco”. The Milanese magazine, written in English and Italian, investigates fire as a primordial element – from molten lava and volcanoes, to eros, love and its twin flames, to spirits, will-o’-the-wisps, perpetual flames, and sacred fires – tracing how this perpetual force has shaped humanity’s existential condition since its origins. The volume brings together essays, images, and literary fragments.
The magazine is set in OT Magister by Omnitype, a faithful revival of Aldo Novarese’s Magister, for its title, and paired with AL Linea Book for the text, a precise revival of Umberto Fenocchio’s FTC Linea by Alex Lescieux. These two modern Italian typefaces, reawakened from slumber, resonate with the dual nature of fire, enduring and regenerative.
The release of Riv.05 was celebrated on October 23, 2024, at Fonderia Battaglia in Milan, with a launch event held in collaboration with Carhartt WIP.
