Ten crafts at risk of disappearing, and where to still find them in Italy
Crafts have never had so many admirers, yet Italy has lost one artisan in four in ten years. From the plaster of Milan to the iron of Stia, this guide presents ten crafts at risk, the places where they can still be found, and the detail that makes each one recognizable. A museum preserves the object, but only the customer preserves the craft.

LARGE RITUAL CANDLE SET WITH A RAW GREEN AVENTURINE
Love and Stones
60,00 €FROM A MOMENT TO A RITUAL I write down my thoughts for the day in the morning, and in the evening, my dreams for my life and for tomorrow. Before I do, I light a candle. It is my way of starting a moment for myself, giving my thoughts a little time before life takes over. This week, I shared my journal, 7 Little Thoughts, with seven thoughts for seven days. And now I want to share something more. Because a ritual is not something you do for seven days. It is something that slowly becomes part of your life, until one day you cannot imagine your morning or evening without it. That is why I created the Large Ritual Candle. The same idea as my Tiny Ritual Set, just bigger. Inside, you will find a black ceramic, 20 tiny ritual candles, beach sand from Mallorca in a black linen bag, and a raw Green Aventurine stone, associated with growth, new possibilities and abundance. WHY A RITUAL? Life is created through the small moments, but we don't always give them the time they deserve. For me, a ritual is simply a moment I choose to make my own. A moment to think about what matters to me, what I want more of in my life, or what I want to make happen. Sometimes, a small thought can be the beginning of something bigger. WHEN & HOW? I like to start my morning with a thought for the day and end my evening by writing down my dreams for my life and tomorrow. Place the sand in your ceramic and find a place for your Green Aventurine. Light one candle and give your thoughts a little time. It can be a dream you want to pursue, something you are grateful for, a change you want to make, or simply a reminder to enjoy the life you are living. There are no rules. Find your own time, your own thoughts, and your own way of making it part of your day. Twenty candles. Twenty moments to begin, continue, and return to your thoughts. From one moment… to a ritual.

What's inside your home fragrance: candles, diffusers, and the question no one asks
We choose the wood for our table, the linen for our sheets, and the lime plaster for our walls. Then we light a candle without knowing what we are breathing. Raremood and IRCAS explain what goes into a candle that is safe to breathe: wax that begins in a field, a cotton wick, a ceramic vessel that stays, and the biography of a healthy fragrance, from distillation to label.

Animal Travel Award: packing for four paws
In the luggage of the conscious traveler, there is more and more often room for a dog or a cat. On October 3, the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis, the GIST Animal Travel Award honored those who open the doors of hospitality to animals. Isabella Goldmann, president of the award, explains why the most civilized journey is the one in which no one is left at home, and why it is the details (clean air, silence, and soft light) that reveal true hospitality, for animals and for us.

The grand cru you buy at the creamery
Butter can now be tasted like a grand cru: raw and on its own, choosing both the maker and the season. Paris has opened its first shops devoted to butter, from Le Butter Shop to Au Beurre Royal, and butter has become a reason to travel. From Brittany to Normandy, grass-fed butter has its own places of pilgrimage. Raremood sets the record straight on its real nutritional benefits, five centuries of prohibitions, and half a century of suspicion, all the way to ghee, the clarified butter of the Indian tradition.
