L’ippogrifo

In the historical district of Florence where the artisans work and reside, L'Ippogrifo Stampe d'Arte has recreated the antique technique of etching (acquaforte in Italian) for over 40 years. Gianni Raffaelli, together with his wife and children, realises his works of art by engraving them by hand on copper plates, which are then printed on precious paper in limited edition. Afterwards, each etching is watercolored by hand, signed and numbered by the author, following the old tradition of the Florentine workshops.
