Tassotti
Grafiche Tassotti is a renowned, family-run Italian printing workshop based in Bassano del Grappa, globally celebrated for its exceptional-quality decorative papers and fine stationery items. Established in 1957 by Giorgio Tassotti, the company serves as the modern guardian and moral heir to Europe's historic Remondini printing house (which operated from 1657 to 1861). Today, under the leadership of CEO Nicole Tassotti, it is universally considered a global ambassador for "Made in Italy" craftsmanship.
The Remondini Heritage
The soul of Tassotti's products lies in its incredible history. During the 18th century, the Remondini firm was arguably the largest publishing and printing house in Europe, employing up to 1,800 workers and operating dozens of presses. They distributed devotional prints, wallpapers, and bookbinding papers worldwide via a network of traveling pedlars.
When the Remondini business finally shut down in 1861, its copper plates and engraved woodblocks were scattered. Decades later, the historic blocks were returned to the city museum of Bassano. Fascinated by this rich lineage, a young Giorgio Tassotti collaborated with the museum in 1957 to pull facsimile copies of those historical designs, successfully introducing them to a modern niche market.
Product Range & Artistry
What started as a portfolio of classic hand-coloured prints has evolved into a vast catalogue of more than 2,000 to 4,000 unique items. Tassotti's modern product lines span across multiple creative paper categories:
• Decorative & Origami Paper: Multi-use sheets heavily favored by bookbinders, origami enthusiasts, and high-end gift-wrappers.
• Stationery Essentials: Notebooks, journals, diaries, writing papers, envelopes, and greeting cards.
• Art & Fine Prints: Numbered editions, canvas products, and artistic visual layouts rooted in traditional Italian imagery.
Every single pattern originates right inside the Bassano facility from original hand-painted watercolours or from carefully preserved motifs pulled straight from the private Raccolta Remondini-Tassotti archive. Famous historical prints, such as the geometric Remondini Triangoli from 1760, continue to be reproduced alongside fresh, contemporary seasonal collections.
Modern Sustainability & Retail Experience
Despite deep reference for the past, Tassotti actively implements modern, planet-conscious production practices. Their entire paper lineup is completely recyclable, wrapped in biodegradable film, and bears the FSC certification, which guarantees that the raw materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests. This commitment to sustainable high-end design has earned them partnerships with eco-conscious lifestyle destinations like Green Pea in Turin.
If you ever find yourself traveling through the Veneto region, you can visit their flagship shop, the Carteria Tassotti, opened in 1992 near Palladio’s iconic Ponte Vecchio in Bassano del Grappa. The upper level of the boutique famously houses a portion of their private museum collection, giving visitors an immersive look at original 18th-century woodcuts, books, and prints.
