[003] Cartare. Memorie di donne nella città della carta

[002] Cartare. Memorie di donne nella città della carta

Cartare investigates the role of women within the Cartiere Miliani paper company in Fabriano. Starting from the historical archives curated by Fondazione Fedrigoni Fabriano and Renata Armezzani’s Master’s thesis (1997), the project gives shape to collective memory through personal stories.

A direct contact with the local community brought to light new photographs and testimonies, organized into thematic sections. The research is an open, evolving project that aims to grow over time and build an increasingly tangled narration.

The book was presented on March 15, 2024, at the Biblioteca Multimediale Romualdo Sassi in Fabriano, and was exhibited during the XXXVI Edition of the Turin International Book Fair (May 9-13, 2024) in the Marche Region Pavilion.

Special thanks to Renata Armezzani, Fondazione Fedrigoni Fabriano, Archivio Casella, Biblioteca Multimediale Romualdo Sassi, L’Azione Fabriano and to all the people who shared their personal memories.

Recently, a documentary was produced about the history of papermaking in Fabriano and the many women who worked in the Cartiere Miliani paper company, now part of the Fedrigoni Group. For more information, please refer to the Memorie di carta project.
