Marbling Class and Shop
This was a great shop (Via Camillo Cavour) and the Marbling class was great! The marbling class was amazing! We learned the process of Marbling and the history of it. We got to make our own designs and Marbled paper. My family (2 adults and two children; 8 and 12) did the class all together. The children loved the class and were so proud of their work. My wife and I had a blast as well. The shop the amazing. The items were fantastic! We purchased several items that were reasonably priced. Overall, a strong recommendation to visit the shop and take the Marbling Class.

Wondeful store.
If you are paper artist you have to visit that store!! You will learn a lot. Good paper selection, very friendly stuff. I wish to have more time to take class. Had very good conversion with artists. Definitely will go back when visit Florence. To the Artists - please continue what you doing to save your art and listen Celentano :) ...

Colorful paper products
Really great store with the most amazing marbled handmade paper goods. Frames, cards, notebooks, ornaments, etc, so many things to see and choose from. I had to stop myself from buying the whole store!! Hope to return.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely paper shop with gorgeous products

Aug 2020 • Couples

We stumbled across this shop walking back to our hotel and loved what we found inside. It’s had gorgeous cards and notebooks and the staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. Products are on expensive side but I think you’re paying for the quality and uniqueness. Would recommend visiting this store

If you LOVE Paper...

Jul 2022

Wish I could give this gem of a store 100 stars! The owner is a 5th generation paper maker and is the friendliest man in all of Florence. We chatted with him for nearly an hour and he invited me back the next day to give me a lesson on how to make the marbled paper. Alas, we were leaving, but next time I get to Florence, I'm carving our an entire day - or week- just for Francesco! The shop was lovely and the paper products are top notch. I think there are a few of these stores, but the one by the Duomo is the real deal.

Loved the hand decorated paper and books

Apr 2019 • Friends

They have beautiful hand decorated paper as well as wonderful leather books. They will talk to you about the paper, as well as show you how the paper is decorated. The staff is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable (considering the quality of the work). Highly recommend a visit.

Inaccurate TripAdvisor location

Feb 2018 • Family

Beware of trying to visit according to the location on TripAdvisor. There is an Il Papiro there, but it’s not the store that the photos & reviews that generally accompany this on TripAdvisor are of. We visited the store on the bank of the Arno, it was nice but you could barely swing a cat, let alone do marbling demonstrations there.

The next day we chanced across another Il Papiro on Via de Guiccigardini on the way to the Pitti Palace. This store is big, with a demonstration area, a “museum” and lots of products to choose from. The shopkeeper was very knowledgeable and helpful.

I’ve deducted a star for TripAdvisor wasting our time visiting the wrong store.

Christmas presents sorted!

Sept 2019

This has the most amazing selection of beautiful paper artifacts, from bookmarks to notebooks, diaries, playing cards, wrapping paper and more. It is a great place to browse, but you will want to come away with something, I can guarantee it!

Beautiful paper products

Aug 2019 • Couples

This is a wonderful little shop with marbled paper, journals and more. Such a great place to find a truly Florentine gift for a friend, purchase a unique card or get a lovely leather journal with colorful marbled accents. The only negative is that is somewhat pricey. That said, it is definitely worth checking out even if you only window shop.
