WHY SEE IT?
The birthplace of the Canti Orfici. Here in 1914, Dino Campana self-published his only work after the original manuscript was lost by Papini and Soffici.
CURIOSITY
In 1914, after the manuscript of Canti Orfici was lost by Papini and Soffici, Campana refused to give up. With extraordinary determination and the support of his fellow townspeople—44 of whom each donated 2.50 lire—he managed to print his book, securing his place in literary history.
Printer Bruno Ravagli played a key role in this endeavor. Though the edition was full of typos and mistakes, it is now considered a masterpiece of 20th-century literature. The fact that Campana took fate into his own hands in a small-town print shop gives his work even more symbolic power.
Though no longer active, the Ravagli Print Shop remains steeped in history. Visiting this place lets you breathe in the passion of Campana and feel his deep connection to his homeland.
