In its first iteration, Coriandoli manifests itself as a supersized 35x50cm newspaper, signalling the need for new ideas and new sensibilities. Its theme, ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’, challenges contributors and readers alike to question and present one’s identity.
The introduction reads:
“Coriandoli is a new print-only magazine aimed at celebrating and platforming new Italian countercultural creators. Designed by and for young artists, the publication seeks to breathe new life into the stale and commercially obsessed Italian creative industry. We will present an array of fresh talent across various artistic fields and regions, while creating a one-of-a-kind collectible limited edition newspaper inspired by many Italian periodicals. Coriandoli paints the picture of where we want Italy to be headed, creatively and politically.”
Coriandoli Magazine once again changes the rules becoming a real, playable board game instruction manual.
In the colourful pages of the magazine the reader will dive into ‘Conciati Per Le Feste’, a board game entirely written, drawn and photographed by Coriandoli. Meet its strange protagonists, wear the most magical ensembles and live the daily life of a true party monster.
A collection of editorials, interviews, riddles, crosswords, and so much more around the theme ‘What Game Are You Playing?’ are going to challenge you to try your luck and move strategically through the contemporary cultural underworld.
Coriandoli 2 showcases the collective’s ability to achieve complex storytelling and production fulfilling its original playfully profound vision.
Upon release of their second issue, Coriandoli wrote and produced a fully playable limited edition board game in 10 numbered copies. Intended as a collector’s item, “Conciati Per Le Feste!” contains hundreds of cards, figurines and novelty objects. The game’s riveting storylines and unpredictable twists will transport each player into the colourful Coriandoli universe, where they will face countless adventures dressed as their favourite character (6 different colour options and wardrobes).
