Nero Magazine no.25, Winter 2011
…comes out today – with an introduction to selected highlights of the Roman days from this Wikidiary describing my desire for a ‘crisi di mezz’età’ while living in Italy this year – in the magazine that is more than a magazine (co-founded & co-produced by genial childhood friends Francesco, Lorenzo, Luca, and Valerio – endlessly curious and industrious ragazzi Romani whom I refer to collectively as the ‘Nero Boys’), also occupying itself with publishing books, commissioning artist projects, producing events, curating shows, blogging, and providing Rome with a central clearinghouse for contemporary culture – so when people ask me what’s going on in Rome today, I say Nero – and this current tendency for the young Italian start-up magazine as a primary cultural export can also be witnessed a bit farther north at Kaleidoscope and Mousse.
