A Recollection of Sensations and Emotions Experienced During Our Stay in Pantelleria

Alessandro Coltro·
Pantelleria is an editorial and creative project made by érato (@eratomediterraneo). A long friendship sealed by a shared passion for discovery and the continuous search for emotions and beauty spiced up by Mediterranean flavours. A repository of photos and ordinary journeys that have given life to extraordinary memories, which have then become thoughts, words, images to be shared. Between a road trip through the hills of Val d'Orcia, a summer in the capital of Sicilian Baroque and an Apulian sunset in front of sea urchins and sparkling house wine, érato unconsciously came to life in our hearts.

Reading While Hungry, a Reflection on Taste by Stanley Tucci

James Farnell·
Having recently finished reading Taste by actor, director and fellow martini drinker Stanley Tucci, I am left with a profound sense of purpose. Not only to cook more and spend more time smelling tomatoes for ripeness in my local supermarket, but to encourage fellow food lovers to grab the first copy they see. Taste tells the story of Tucci’s life through comical and heart-warming anecdotes centred around food and drink.

1969, A Good Year

Casper Lundmose·
ings backward to a bygone time, where style was better, design icons were created, landmark achievements that we still refer to, books written, movies released, etc.

On Style and Gentlemanliness

Valet·
Many of the qualities I associate with gentlemanliness are truly timeless. What’s more, I believe that they are simple: A gentleman is an artist, purely. And like any genuine artist, he occupies a world where curiosity, kindness, tenderness, ecstasy are the norm. These qualities alone can’t help but lead to the development of a character befitting a gentleman.

Are You Free for Lunch?

Luke Andrews·
Everyone should eat lunch, especially me because breakfast is typically a couple of vitamins, The Wall Street Journal editorials, and two cups of black coffee. By the time both hands on my watch are pointing straight up, my stomach is rumbling. During the week, I have a few spots I frequent, and I eat light—salads with grilled chicken breast or a cup of soup (hold the bread) and a beer. Friday's lunch, however, is different.

Unexpected and Esoteric Approaches to Menswear and Style

Alessandro Coltro·
Valet is an independent, print-only publication dedicated to classic menswear and timeless style. They champion long-form essays that take unexpected and esoteric approaches to menswear, tailoring, and style—and, in the spirit of whimsy, publish articles tangentially or not at all related to clothing, just because they like them—in order to inspire men to dress entirely and unapologetically as themselves.
