E99 | (English) 專訪Monocle雜誌之文化編輯Chiara / 如何綜合觀點且深刻地介紹一個國家? /

Monocle是個鎖定全球觀點的獨立媒體，從國際事務、商務、文化到設計出發，由加拿大創辦人Tyler Brule帶領多國團隊，從倫敦出發，在世界多次建立網絡據點，Monocle的精神是紙本永不會被數位取代；2013年我有幸像個粉絲得到Tyler的簽名；將近十年後，我有幸訪問到Chiara Rimella，來自義大利，在倫敦Monocle總部任職文化編輯，也是The Monocle Book of Italy唯二編輯。 本集他將與我們暢談他參與的作品 — 關於設計、商業、美食與時尚之旅：The Monocle Book of Italy是個視覺上的饗宴，深入潛出且多面地探索義大利 (避開陳腔濫調的介紹)，從文化到設計，再到建築與交通，一個富含深度的國家等待被挖掘… 搜尋：Excuse英國腔! Fast backwarding to autumn, 2013, in London, ‘Cheers, to the finest in print,’ signed Tyler Brule, Monocle’s Editor-in-Chief on the flyleaf of a Monocle issue I’d just bought. (For those listeners who have not heard of Monocle, it’s a media brand from London positioning itself as a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design.) As a fan of Monocle for over a decade, I am especially thrilled today to be joined by Chiara Rimella, Culture Editor of Monocle and one of the two editors of The Monocle Book of Italy. In this episode, she will talk to us about this book she tirelessly co-worked on — a grand tour of design, business, food and fashion — The Monocle Book of Italy is a visual banquet of the nation. This hardback book is no ordinary travel guide of Italy that repeats the beaten track. Rather, it re-visits the many facets of the country multi-dimensionally, from culture to design, architecture to mobility, with a miscellany more for you to explore this country of profundity.
