Where the Art of Papermaking Began
For centuries, Fabriano has been famous the world over for its production of exceptional papers for fine arts, printmaking and stationery. As the oldest paper mill in Europe, Fabriano's master papermakers count among their achievements the development of surface sizing to protect paper and augment its archival characteristics, and the creation of the watermark, originally used as the artisanal signature of the papermaker, now used to identify the mill and sheet. Today, Fabriano carries these traditions forward, offering papers made entirely by hand as well as fine papers for every technique and every level of achievement.
