Product Display Giannini Bookbinder Giulio Giannini and Sons was founded in Florence in 1856, Still in operation, it is one of the oldest bookbinding workshops in the world. Now run by members of the sixth generation of the family (mainly Maria), the small workshop is located near Palazzo Pitti in the heart of Florence's artisanal paradise, Oltrarno. Giannini bookbinders used gold-leafed parchment and colored leather hardcovers, inspired by 14th-century models. An icon of an era, Giannini defined the "Florentine style" in the history of bookbinding. This orange soft-leather notebook has a vegetable-tanned exterior. Its ivory pages are hand-decorated with Florentine bookbinder Giannini's signature marbling. Every stage of the binding process requires the precision of the artisan to achieve impeccable beauty and functionality. Dimensions in cm: W 12 x D 1.5 x H 17
