ABOUT THE WRITER
it's me, hi
Brazilian by birth, Milanese by choice — I'm curious about pretty much everything.
Tanamesa is where that curiosity lands: the news, told with some optimism, and one honest reflection every edition, because sharing my life tends to get you thinking about yours.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Is it actually free?
Yes — just like me, Tanamesa is 100% free... for now. However if you ever want to become a supporter, I won't stand in your way.
How often will I hear from you?
Every other week, on Thursdays. It's a biweekly newsletter — I'm honestly against the overflow of content we consume just because we can, so the idea is that twice a month you get something that makes you smarter, more interesting, and has a little fun along the way.
What will I actually get?
Each edition covers three things:
The Musts — a fast roundup of world news (economy, business, tech & science). I try to pick stories that feel like they should be more mainstream than they are, and I always throw in some personal takes (it's my newsletter).
Editor's Recommendations — I'm obsessed with music, film and art, and I've been trying to read more too, so consider these picks you can take or leave.
What About me — an honest, first-person note about life, growth, and whatever I've been thinking about lately. A lot of readers reply to this part, so feel free to hit reply and tell me what you think too.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Of course, but why would you?
Who is behind it?
Tanamesa has a huge team of one person.
Why did you decide to start a newsletter?
How many minutes do you have for this one? I love newsletters, and at the same time I was frustrated that a lot of the news I thought mattered wasn't reaching people the way it should.
I also always had friends asking me for recommendations, since I like staying on top of what's new in pop culture — and I'm a terrible texter. So Tanamesa became my way of keeping in touch with friends scattered all over the world: simpler, but still meaningful.
Also, the fame.
When's the book coming? Does Tanamesa have any products?
For now, the only thing you can buy from Tanamesa is a slightly better week. But where there's demand, there's opportunity — so ask me again after edition 200.
