A family story, 113 years in the making
From 1913 to 2026, generations, tools and technologies have changed. The starting point has not: knowledge comes first.
The origins
It begins with one man, one family
and one municipality
Our story begins in 1913. Emilio Gaspari, a municipal secretary from Romagna, knew public administration from the inside. He saw what municipalities needed: practical expertise and tools designed around the realities of their daily work.
That insight led to Grafiche E. Gaspari. Printing was still done with lead type, but the principle that would guide the company for the next 113 years was already there:
know municipalities first. Then build what they truly need.
One family
Generation after generation
1913 — Emilio Gaspari
A municipal secretary, he founded Grafiche E. Gaspari to give municipalities the expertise and forms their daily work actually required.
Aldo Gaspari
Emilio's son expanded the company. During World War II, the family managed to hide its industrial machinery from the German occupying forces, preserving the business and its future.
1967 — Paola
After Aldo died unexpectedly, his wife Paola carried the company forward and completed the transition from letterpress to offset printing.
The 1980s — Teresa Gaspari
Gaspari Moduli Continui was established; in 1984 Editrice Caparrini joined the Group, followed by ITC, Tinor and Publistampa. Under Teresa, daughter of Aldo and Paola, the Group moved into information technology and developed its first digital solutions for public administration.
Today — Giovanni
Teresa's son took the helm and led the Group into the web era, continuing to work alongside municipalities as their tools, languages and needs evolved.
Over more than a century, the way we work has changed. The starting point has not: knowledge comes first.

Made in Italy: the value of place
In 2026, Made in Italy was created: the Gaspari Group's most advanced digital ecosystem for discovering Italy, its communities and its extraordinary heritage.
It gives smaller communities a voice and brings local excellence, places, stories and knowledge into the light. It brings fragmented information together through a unified vision, working alongside municipalities with expertise, consulting, and strategic and operational support.
Because to unlock the value of a place, you first have to know it. And you have to know how to use every tool available, including the most advanced ones, to turn knowledge into opportunities for growth.
Artificial intelligence comes after knowledge. It becomes a tool to tell stories, answer questions, guide and personalize, helping people understand a place and experience it in their own way.
Knowledge creates value. For communities. For people. For the country.
113 years
The same direction
From 1913 to 2026, generations, tools and technologies have changed. The story runs through Emilio, Aldo, Paola, Teresa and Giovanni: from lead type to offset printing, from continuous forms to information technology, from the web to artificial intelligence. But the direction remains the same.
1913
Knowing municipalities
Emilio Gaspari started with an understanding of municipalities to create tools that made their work better.
2026
Knowing places
Made in Italy starts with knowledge of places to help communities recognize, preserve and reveal the value of what makes them unique.
Knowledge before solutions. Knowledge as the foundation of value.
Two moments in the same story, 113 years apart. One enduring commitment: putting experience, expertise and innovation at the service of municipalities, communities and the country.
