STAMPERIA D’ARTE ALBICOCCO

Since its founding by Corrado Albicocco in the early 1970s in Udine, under a different name, it has been a point of reference for national and international chalcographic printing thanks to the efforts of Albicocco and his son, Gianluca. Thanks to his talent, passion, and sensibility, Albicocco was able to gain the trust of some of the greatest contemporary artists who saw the Friulian artisan as the ideal “ferryman” of their works on paper, where every print is a masterful result of an ancient and timeless knowledge.
