Drawing and Photographing
Reproducing visible reality (and not!) on a sheet of paper. Here is photography and drawing. If you are looking for a photo album, elegant or fun, handmade in Italy, you will love our Photo Albums! Each of our items is a piece of authentic Florentine craftsmanship, and the attention to detail and Renaissance inspiration of each object is proof of this. The leathers, the ancient and now forgotten closure technologies, the details, the decorations, all denote the excellence of the craftsmanship of Florence and Tuscany! When it comes to Sketchbooks for drawing, the inspiration is totally artistic. We have created drawing albums for true Renaissance artists, with the most beautiful images of the prophets and sibyls by the great Michelangelo, which the Florentine artist created in Rome, but of which Florence still boasts as the cradle of his skill.
Albums to Give as Gifts
If you want to give a beautiful and stylish gift, you should take a look in our artisan workshop, the kingdom of artistic craftsmanship and the ancient Italian Renaissance. These images of Pinocchio at the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio are ideal to satisfy a lover of Florence and Pinocchio. Michelangelo is perfect for those who love classical art, tradition, and one of the most famous Florentine artists in history. A sweet and refined gift idea for a child and perfect and elegant for an adult, both artists or aspiring ones. Inspiration for every special occasion even for a boy or girl such as a birth or baptism, a gift that lasts over time and makes you remember. Collecting and cataloguing photos means organizing your memories and enjoying them by reliving them. Handling and organizing physical photos gives a pleasure and relaxation that a digital screen cannot even dream of.
