Italy lies at the heart of the marbling tradition. With its mysterious origins  in 8th century Asia, the art of marbling blossomed in post Renaissance Italy. 

Your purchase directly contributes to the rebirth of  "La Legatoria del Sole", Pietro's Italian hand bindery and marbled arts studio of 11 years, which we hope to officially reopen in the coming years, in our small town in the eastern Sierras.
