MUSEUM OF PAPER & WATERMARK IN FABRIANO. Fabriano is “ The city of Paper”. We will discover the the culture of the area and its leader role in the history of the modern civilization. It is almost certain that the Arabs were the primitive teachers of the Fabrianese papermakers and that the linen and hemp were the same raw materials used in Fabriano to manufacture paper. The innovative techniques introduced and perfected by the Fabrianese slowly became the most diffused writing material available and more convenient as it was cheaper than parchment and other materials used prior to the invention of paper. Thanks to the innovations made by the Fabrianese master paper makers, paper affirms itself as the only material with which humanity entrusts the written work to communicate and bequeath its thoughts and ingenious works. |
