Polveriera is a space for long-form thinking on systems of power, design, and value—how they are built, how they persist, and how they fail. It sits at the intersection of material culture, economics, and the built world, using fashion, architecture, and mobility as lenses rather than subjects.
The name references Via della Polveriera in Rome, where my great-aunt hosted a late-19th-century salon for writers, philosophers, and political thinkers. Polveriera carries that lineage forward as a contemporary salon: a working archive of essays and arguments written from inside the systems being examined.
This is not commentary and it is not content. It is structural analysis—what should be redesigned, what should be retired, and what must be built next.
