Antica Legatoria Piazzesi

The Piazzesi Bookbinding business began in 1890 with the art of covering everyday objects with stylish decorations stamped by hand. The workshop was bought by the Piazzesi family only a few years later. It was a true salon of writers, artists, aristocrats, religious men, businessmen, intellectuals and fine craftsmen, and even today it is confirmed for the absolute quality and variety of hand printing and for the customization of the product. Lavinia Rizzi, after several changes of ownership, since 1994 has been very dedicated to giving it a modern touch and equipping the business with its own building and brand. In addition to continuing the business, the shop is working on creating a Museum of paper.
