istituto fotocromo italiano
The Istituto Fotocromo Italiano was founded in Florence in 1928 by the engineer Vincenzo Balocchi, a well known amateur photographer and former artistic director of the Fratelli Alinari Company.
Up to 1980, the Company printed artistic editions in the old traditional method of photo-typeset or collotypes, subsequently with the most modern and sophisticated printing methods.
The Istituto Fotocromo Italiano is led by the same family and is now in its third generation.
Lorenzo Balocchi admires the now antique Printing Machine on which his Grandfather Vincenzo pioneered the business over 80 years ago, still in the same factory in central Florence.
Istituto Fotocromo Italiano products are exclusively made with superior quality paper using the most modern printing techniques that guarantee a perfect image and colour.
