Alberto Valese
This is where you can find the original marbled paper which is now sold around the city and, indeed, the world.
Alberto Valese reinvented this technique using knowledge from Persia and Turkey and research into traditional texts. He still continues to make it using these old methods. In the shop you can buy this beautiful paper applied to objects for the home, the writing desk and even clothing accessories in where the technique has been applied to silk.
You can also sign up for courses to learn the technique yourself.
