Artisanal bookbinder in Venice, Italy. I live in a city built on water and ink. My workshop is filled with the scent of leather, glue, and old paper. I specialize in restoring family bibles and first-edition classics. Naturally, my reading interests are deeply historical—I love the works of Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco. My profile is an aesthetic journey through the 'Secret Venice'—hidden libraries, flood-damaged manuscripts, and the intricate process of hand-tooling gold leaf onto spines. I believe that a book is a physical object that breathes and ages, and I’ve made it my life’s mission to keep those hearts beating.
