Officina Bodoni was a private hand-press established by Giuseppe Mardersteig (1892-1977) in 1922. The press moved to Verona, Italy in 1927. Mardersteig quickly became known for his fine work and typographic design. Officina Bodoni produced over 200 books and pamphlets, including several special commissions by other publishers. For example, new editions of T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" (1961) and "The Four Quarters" (1960) were produced for Faber and Faber. Mardersteig also established a machine-press named Stamperia Valdonega in 1948. After his death in 1977, his son Martino Mardersteig took over the running of the Stamperia Valdonega. He continues to use the Officina Bodoni imprint for items created on the hand-press.
