Printing Industry

ven_printing_industry

When Aldo Manuzio established the Aldine Press in Venice in 1494, we became the printing capital of the world almost overnight; our merchants had the gold to finance it, our scholars the Greek and Latin to edit it, and our trade routes to carry the finished books to every court in Europe. The italic typeface, the affordable pocket octavo, and the authoritative editions of Plato, Aristotle, and Virgil that Aldo produced set a standard that no press on the continent has since matched. Mastery of the book trade extends the reach of Venice far beyond what our galleys can carry, and the ideas that flow from our presses become as valuable as the spices in our warehouses.
