Il Papiro was founded in Florence and is a synonym for Italian excellence in the production of handcrafted decorated paper, still made according to traditional methods and 17th-century artisan techniques, which they preserve and showcase worldwide.

Very high-quality materials and the revival of ancient procedures by master craftsmen, such as paper marbling and woodcut printing, have contributed to Il Papiro’s success and its decorated papers since last century.

Il Papiro is a testament to a company that, both today and in the past, promotes tradition and looks to the future through its flexibility and ability to innovate daily.
