25 Time Travel: 10 Years of Journeys Through the Archives

November 1 2025, 1.00pm

Free admission upon registration

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Time Travel series, Humboldt Books marks the milestone of twenty-five titles—with the recent release of Andrea Branzi. Mosca 1962—with a talk during Milano Arch Week. Publishing house founder Giovanna Silva will be in conversation with Giovanna Calvenzi, who has been in charge of the Gabriele Basilico Archive since 2013—Basilico being a key figure in the publisher’s history and author of the first volume in the series. Time Travel revisits journeys, archives, and gazes of the twentieth century, weaving together photography, architecture, and writing to explore travel as an experience of discovery, memory, and imagination.
