The Atlas
The collective
mosaic
Every tessera that finds a home joins the map, with the city or village of the person keeping it and their own words. Where there is more than one tessera, the point carries a number: click it and choose which to open. Out of respect for privacy we show only the city, never the address.
Click a point to open the tessera. Where a point carries a number, there is more than one inside.

To the keepers
Tell us about your tessera
If you are keeping a tessera, your city or village can join the Atlas. It takes very little: a photograph, the place where the tessera lives, and how it reached you.
The quickest way
On WhatsApp you can write and attach the photograph in one go. The message is already laid out: you only have to fill it in.

I answer personally, and I will ask you for the photograph.
