MDL NOTEBOOK

Stories, documents
and traces of
Italian wool.

An open notebook on the material behind MDL: historical sources, places, people and processes gathered patiently, while keeping what we know separate from what we are still investigating.

Not a finished story, but a documented journey from Italian Merino wool to the Magazzino della Lana project.
