Florentine Marbled Paper

Marbled paper production in Florence dates back to the 16th century when the Renaissance city, its art, and its style were admired throughout Europe. The technique that produces a marbled effect involves floating pigments on water, then transferring the design to paper. Today, marbled paper remains a popular souvenir for visitors to Florence and is among dozens on the list of Italy’s iconic handicrafts.
