The Aldo Mieli queer archive in Carrara, Italy, collects and preserves books, ephemera, and traces of memories usually left out of mainstream history. Among these materials, a lifetime collection of postcards—addressed to the same recipient and sent by their queer chosen families—carries intimate fragments filled with love and care. Lingering unfolds through the postcards and the encounters and conversations between the queer archive’s founder, Luca Locati Luciani, and its dwellers.
