Museum of Graphic Arts Tipografia Grifani Donati

In Città di Castello, in the province of Perugia, you can take a leap in time of more than 200 years to discover all the secrets of printing, from Gutemberg to Aloisio Senefelder. All this will be possible crossing the door of the historical Tipografia Grifani Donati, a laboratory active since 1799 that preserves all the equipments still working, as the printing press Elia Dell’Orto 1864, and an atmosphere magically suspended in the time. Book your visit to the Museum of Graphic Arts, still a working environment for artists from around the world, and in the company of the owner admire how an intaglio is made, how lithographs are drawn on stone and how typesetting works. Take home an experience and a letterpress print.
