Officina Bodoni
The Officina Bodoni was a private press founded by Giovanni Mardersteig in 1922 in Montagnola di Lugano, Switzerland. It was named after the great 18th century Italian typographer Giambattista Bodoni.
In 1927 Mardersteig moved the press to Verona, Italy, partly in order to print a state-funded edition of the complete works of Gabriele D'Annunzio. During its operation it printed and published some 200 books and pamphlets.
Mardersteig designed several typefaces for use at the press, including Dante, Griffo and Zeno.
