About the museum
The museum is located at the headquarters of the Piacenza newspaper “Libertà”, in via Benedettine, and is devoted to the printing tools used until the 1980s and then made obsolete by the arrival of new typesetting technologies.
Among the objects on display are the historic composing machines (Linotype, Nebitype, Ludlow), lead and wooden type, metal and rubber printing plates, cardboard flongs, lead pages, rollers, brushes, tongs and type gauges (tipometri).
