and a palimpsest of lives and memories from a storied Milanese estate

Granta #172 2025 - Badlands museums and a palimpsest of livesThe magazine was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, a periodical of student politics, badinage and literary enterprise, named after the river that runs through the town. In 1979, Bill Buford and Pete de Bolla transformed Granta from a student publication to the literary quarterly it remains today. Each themed issue of Granta turns the attention through fantastic writers to one aspect of the way we live now.
