A MEETING POINT BETWEEN FUTURE AND ANCIENT: STEAMPUNK



In the glow of the success of the movie "Poor Things", the steampunk aesthetic rises with majesty, dusting off a golden age of imagination.


Flying machines, retro ships wrapped in a mysterious veil of modernity, ingenious steam contraptions and mutant creatures dance in a Victorian London reinvented by the genius of director Yorgos Lanthimos. This London, stolen from the pages of Jules Verne’s novels, becomes the stage of a timeless adventure, a symphony of ingenuity and wonder.


Steamed, steampunk stands as an obsession with rebellious creativity. Born from the intersection of punk youth culture and Victorian imagery, this movement invites a journey to a past that has never been, to a parallel and fascinating story.


If cyberpunk whispers of a hypertechnological future, steampunk drags us into an era of steaming locomotives and steam engines, in a retro utopia that enchants and seduces

The Victorian aesthetic, with its shimmering brass and lace-up corsets, takes us into an alternative universe where modernity bows to the charm of the past. In this chronicle, cities shine among clouds of steam and steel gears, where progress is measured in steaming cylinders and toothed wheels.


The relationship between man and energy unfolds along the pages of history, woven with human strength and revolutionary discoveries. From wind and water, steam emerges as the catalyst of an unprecedented industrial revolution. Fearless locomotives plough through unknown lands, while hammers and steam presses carve the fate of modern industry.


From the first steam car in Cugnot to the locomotives that defy the wind, the apex of this revolutionary technology pervades the soul of the nineteenth century. Paddleboats sail stormy seas, while the textile industry thrives under factory smoke. It is an age of wonder and progress, of dreams and visions that challenge time and space.


In this mosaic of ingenuity and creativity, steampunk stands as a beacon in the night, a light that illuminates the streets of our imagination. With its steaming cars and rebellious dreams, it invites us to explore new and incredible worlds, where steam is the engine of adventure and the future is an enchanted unknown.




In the enchantment of literature, the writers of the 80s woven the textures of the steampunk genre, a universe of wonder and adventure that dances on the thin thread of time. Kevin Jeter, Tim Powers, James Blaylock, masters of the pen, painted fascinating worlds, where steam and charcoal melt in an embrace of magic and myster.


Inspired by the works of the great writers of the Age of Steam, these authors have drawn life from the smog-soaked pages of Arthur Conan Doyle, the genius behind Sherlock Holmes. In the dark mists of the cities invaded by the smoke of the boilers, there is the shadow of Jack the Ripper, the mystery that envelops the night, the call of a lost era.


And in the misty words of Jules Verne, the promise of endless adventures, journeys beyond the horizon, worlds hidden under the crust of the Earth. Verne, with his visionary genius, has anticipated the future with his flying machines and his extraordinary ships, giving us dreams of glory and conquest.


The steampunk genre stands as a beacon in the storm, a voice that guides us through the mists of time. With its reckless heroes and its mysterious machines, it invites us to explore new and incredible worlds, challenge destiny and reveal the secrets hidden in the heart of the universe.

And so, among the pages of these novels imbued with steam and dust, we discover the reflection of our soul, the call of a forgotten era, the heartbeat of a world that is still waiting to be discovered. In this journey through time and space, we immerse ourselves in the depths of imagination, ready to be carried away by the currents of destiny, ready to live the most extraordinary adventures that the human mind can conceive.
