Fabriano

Fabriano is a little town in the province of Ancona in Italy and boasts a rich heritage in paper manufacturing. The art of crafting paper reached its pinnacle in this town during the 13th century, following the transmission of papermaking techniques from Arab lands to the western world. Three pivotal innovations catapulted Fabriano to preeminence in the realm of paper manufacturing. The introduction of paper watermarking, the advent of the hammer mill producing paper with more uniform fiber distribution and the implementation of gelatin surface sizing ensuring greater longevity and quality.
