Fortunato
Brogi created the Brogi Printing
Office and Bookbinder's in 1920. Notebooks,
books, folders were hand-sewn by women,
and transformed into precious objects.
The preparation and composition of lead
fused characters, as well as the finishing
print with cameras, was carried out in
the artisan master's style.
Tiziano, a third generation
Brogi, picked up the family's art and
tradition and chooses to cultivate and
keep the fascination of hand made articles.
He defies modern times where computer
technology is also a substitute for creativity
and imagination.
After almost a century
in Florence's historical center, the rooms
annexed to Palazzo Martelli, which were
used by Ditta F. Brogi, became museum
due to a Cultural Affairs Ministry request.
The firm was forced to move to Via Massaccio
23/r, bringing with it the atmosphere
and warmth of the old tradition. The telephone
number is +39 055 581221.
