The Museum of Printing and Art Printing in Lodi was inaugurated in 2008 and named after “Andrea Schiavi”. The Museum occupies the premises of the former Lodigraf printing house, active until the 1980s. Andrea Schiavi was the main creator who created a real museum dedicated to the history of typographic and artistic printing through the centuries. In the exhibition space it is possible to admire the typical architecture of the old printing house and the perfectly preserved printing machinery and equipment. Visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the craftsmanship and history of a civilization. The knowledge of this historical activity is transmitted in the large rooms set up with didactic intent, in order to discover the secrets of this ancient art which, over the centuries, has marked one of the most amazing inventions of man. The museum houses one of the most important collections of printing machines and equipment in Europe. Starting from the ancient wooden chest of drawers, complete with lead and wood characters, to the nineteenth-century cast iron presses. We point out the presence of the precious “Columbian” model, in cast iron and steel, built in London in 1859 and the only one in Italy. Also on display is a model of a 1: 5 scale wooden press similar to the one used by Gutenberg for printing the Bible.
