The artisan workshop Legatoria Artistica was born in 1982 from the passion for paper of two sisters, Patrizia and Angela Gronchi. Great attention is paid to the choice of materials, first of all a special paper made by capturing among the fibers flowers and other elements offered by nature. With these precious papers unique objects are created such as books, notebooks, journals, cases, scrapbooks, menus, invitations and invitations, bookmarks, cards, lamps, frames, writing sets, paper mache sculptures and much more. The workshop also performs customizations and embellishes leather creations with elegant ribbing and hot stamping. In addition to artistic production, Legatoria Artistica also does restoration and bookbinding work for law and notary offices, institutions and individuals.
Monday to Friday from 10 am to 1 pm and 4 pm to 7 pm; Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm
