Join host Dan Rhatigan as he sits down with Sandro Berra, the Coordinator of Tipoteca Italiana, a world-class type museum, archive, and print shop located in the charming countryside of Cornuda, Italy. Dan has been teaching at TipoItalia — a type residency at Tipoteca — for the past three summers and caught Sandro while they were both in Cornuda.

Together, they dive into the magic of Tipoteca, an institution dedicated to preserving the rich history of Italian typography while inspiring modern creativity.

You'll also hear firsthand accounts from workshop participants embracing their inner type nerd in a setting out of a design lover's daydream. From letterpress printing to exploring vintage wood type to devouring delicious €6 pizzas, this creative residency combines inspiration, collaboration, and Italian culture. Tune in to hear how Tipoteca bridges the past and future of design.
