“If each com­pa­ny derives from an alche­my between peo­ple and tech­niques, the foundry of char­ac­ters, whose heart is the engrav­ing depart­ment, is an extra­or­di­nary exam­ple of skills and unequalled aes­thet­ic sen­si­tiv­i­ty, which can be found in the doc­u­men­tary in the fig­ure of Giuseppe Brachi­no, who was the head of the engrav­ing depart­ment of the Nebi­o­lo Com­pa­ny from Turin. He shows the cre­ation of a punch, from which mov­able types derived, repeat­ing the same ges­tures of Francesco Grif­fo who engraved the round and ital­ic types of Aldus Manu­tius in Venice, five cen­turies ago.”
