Notes
A beautiful book cover of a monographic catalog about master typographer Giambattista Bodoni. The cover follows the typical layout of Ricci’s luxurious monographs and shows a photograph portraying a series of Bodoni’s original books, preserved at Bodoni Museum in Parma. The title is set in a digital font by Franco Maria Ricci which is true to Bodoni’s original typefaces. The same picture has been already used by Ricci for a cover of his magazine FMR, issue 82, 1990.
