Postcard from Maropati
A handcrafted postcard where the lettering is made from lasagne — Calabria's ancestral pasta — celebrating food, heritage, and identity.
01 — Concept
Pasta as Typography
Lasagne — the grandfather of lasagna — is a local pasta native to Calabria. For this postcard, I hand-made the pasta dough and shaped it into letters, then photographed the result to create the postcard's typography. The lettering is literally made of food.
This approach celebrates the deep connection between Calabrian identity and its culinary heritage, turning a traditional recipe into a design medium.
