On Saturday December 10^th, from 15.30 on, Alberto Casiraghy will spend some time with us. We will take the chance to chat and print together using the old Bonvini machines.
Alberto is a poet, a printer, and a publisher who published more than 10,000 titles with EDIZIONI PULCINOELEFANTE to date.
Every small book is printed on hand-cut high quality paper.
Texts are written with movable typefaces and are embellished by the woodcuts from Alberto’s collection.
Every object is printed in a few dozen copies, then sewn, hand-bound and adorned with a small piece of art.
You are more than welcome to join us.

On Friday December 2^nd at 18.30, we will present the book Stationery Fever. An itinerary through origins, history and anecdotes about rubbers, pencils and pencil sharpeners, and many other stationery items. A journey through the places where they are produced with the designers who created them. We’ll discuss it at Bonvini with Giulio Iacchetti, Luca Bendandi and Luca Bogoni. We’ll be expecting you.

On Thursday November 17^th at 18.30, we will host the presentation of two minor editorial collections in anastatic reprint by Scalpendi Editore, designed in the 1920s and 1930s by Antonio Rubino. There are 12 small volumes divided into the collections “La scuola dei giocattoli” (School of toys) and “La Bibliotechina prescolastica” (The small pre-school library). Antonio Rubino was one of the first creators of comic strip stories. In 1908, he was one of the founders of the newspaper for children, Corriere dei Piccoli. Martino Negri, editor of the collections, and art historian Giovanna Ginex will tell us about the many stories related to the characters invented by Antonio Rubino and to his wonderful way of drawing them. The whole edition was carefully and masterfully printed. A good opportunity to buy a Christmas present.
