La Beula Magazine is an independent cultural editorial project born from the La Beula association, founded in 2019 by young creatives from the province of Como. Rooted in the Brianza Lariana area, the magazine explores and celebrates the (extra)ordinary stories of the region through intimate and participatory cultural journalism, available both online and in paper version. Its pages intertwine narration, photography, illustration, drawing, graphics and writing, offering a multidimensional approach to local culture.

 

Guided by the philosophy "We were born in the province", expressed in the editorial of the first issue, La Beula Magazine aims to connect communities, amplify local voices and promote greater cultural awareness. Through the story of places, people, initiatives and ideas, it contributes to building a stronger and more aware cultural network in its home province.

I illustrate each edition of these legends rewritten by Francesco Camagna
