    The strength of the book lies in its universal appeal and immediate nature: a medium that is easy to understand, produce and use, accessible in any place and by all people. Yet this simplicity is a testament to human genius - an achievement of those who, over the centuries, have perfected the art of merging beauty with functionality. From Aldo Manuzio's Venetian typography in the 15th century to the innovations of the digital revolution, this captivating journey is guided by art diplomat Ambassador Umberto Vattani and cultural historian and politician, former minister and Treccani general director, Massimo Bray.
