Giannini Firenze
Giannini Firenze has been globally adored for its gold-leaf bookbinding and hand-marbled paper since 1856. Still based in Piazza Pitti, Maria continues to feed the Florentine culture by digging into her family’s archives and running artistic workshops, where one can learn about the algae and egg yolk mixtures for handmarbling and the intricate stages of bookbinding.
