Our reproductions are faithful to the original and printed on fine Amalfi paper.
It is a paper composed exclusively of cotton fibers, thick and naturally porous, but soft to the touch, with characteristic deckled edges that testify to its artisanal craftsmanship.
It is still made today according to ancient medieval techniques, in the workshops of Amalfi.
