If you’ve visited Casa Carlini recently, you may have noticed that things feel a little cleaner, a little easier to navigate, and a lot more focused.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve quietly restructured the site’s navigation with one goal in mind: helping readers discover more of what they love without having to dig through endless menus and scattered sections. As the site has grown with interviews, essays, reviews, features, news coverage, and long-form writing spanning literature, philosophy, science, politics, music, and culture—the old navigation simply began to feel too crowded.
So we streamlined it.
Instead of an expanding maze of categories and links, the new structure condenses the site into fewer, clearer headings while nesting related content beneath them in a more intuitive way. The result is a browsing experience that feels more natural, whether you’re arriving for a specific article or just wandering through ideas.
One of the biggest improvements is the expansion of our blog architecture. Rather than treating every post as part of one giant stream, we now give distinct editorial areas their own dedicated homes. That includes sections for interviews, reviews, and news, making it far easier to explore the kind of content that interests you most.
And speaking of interviews—that archive has become one of the true centers of gravity at Casa Carlini.
Over the years, we’ve had conversations with biographers, historians, philosophers, scientists, novelists, critics, political thinkers, mathematicians, and artists from around the world. The interview section has grown into something much larger than a standard Q&A archive. It has become an ongoing intellectual record of contemporary thought and cultural conversation.
You can now browse the full collection directly here: Interviews
The collection includes discussions on figures ranging from John von Neumann and Stephen Hawking to Christopher Isherwood, alongside conversations about philosophy, politics, literature, jazz, history, and the ideas shaping the modern world. Some interviews are scholarly, some deeply personal, others unexpectedly funny. Together, they form one of the richest parts of the site.
This redesign is still very much a work in progress, and some areas of the site may still be under construction as we continue refining sections, reorganizing archives, and improving the overall reading experience. But the foundation is now in place, and we think it already makes exploring the site far more enjoyable and intuitive.
The redesign is not about making things flashy. It’s about making discovery easier. We wanted readers to spend less time hunting for material and more time actually reading, exploring, and falling down unexpected rabbit holes.
So head over to Casa Carlini and give the new navigation a spin. Chances are you’ll stumble onto something you weren’t looking for, which, in the best sense, has always been part of the point.
