| The project |
|
| The original paper mill 'Le Carte' dates from the end of the 15th century. |
From then on one could say that potentates and institutions, artists and industries from the world over have passed through Pietrabuona and used Magnani paper, many papers were made exclusively for clients.
|
|
| The place is impossible to describe, one really has to see it to believe it. |
| The interesting project foresees the restoration of the original structure of the paper mill and the creation of a Museum in which to exhibit the numerous historical artefacts gathered over the centuries. |
Furthermore, the re-launching production of hand-made paper is an interesting news, under the guidance of master paper-makers from the area who will be able
to hand on their priceless knowledge. |
|
Our involvement with the modern Cartiera Magnani dates from 1998 when we started collaborating over the production of a paper specifically designed for ink-jet printing.
|
|
At the present time we are trying to utilise the new hand made paper produced under the historical Enrico Magnani brand, in order to realize photographic prints. We start to construct within the Museum a permanent archive of the artist
photographers who will be invited to take part.
