In 1964, founder Lindo Castelli, born in 1938 and raised as an expert paper artisan, opened his bookbinding shop in Bergamo, Italy.
Honoring the birth year of our founder and the birthplace of Italian style, we celebrate and value uniqueness.
Throughout our decades-long history of family business, we have become a reference point for the production of carefully made and designed, bespoke and innovative items, that allow you to experience handwriting as a way to encourage reflection and the expression of your own personality, reaching a deeper level of understanding.
The new nature of paper
Castelli embraced the growing environmental awareness and, with tireless research, introduced innovative recycled materials, natural inks and zero-emission processes. Paper was elevated from a writing support to a medium for communicating fundamental messages.
Innovative future
The renewed Castelli brand interprets paper as a powerful and creative means of communication, a connection between matter and ideas. Paper is ready to become an essential tool for the development of thoughts and personal expression in the age of artificial intelligence.
“Paper is the most powerful and creative tool for human growth and self expression in the age of web and AI.” - Maurizio Castelli
