The Museum of Printing Arts of Jesi was established in 2000 to document the long and important typographical tradition of the city which first saw the birth, in the Marche region, of a typography and, at the same time, the printing of one of the first editions of the Divina Comedy, in 1472, by the typographer Federico de 'Conti. The museum is housed in the sixteenth-century Palazzo Pianetti Vecchio and develops into a large and bright hall where, in an evocative setting with great visual effect, presses and printing machines from various eras are exhibited together with rare and valuable books. Therefore, the museum itinerary highlights and deepens the two aspects that characterize the invention that changed the history of human knowledge: typographic machinery and books as a final product. The volumes on display trace the history of the printed book from the incunabula to beautiful examples of the nineteenth century, through their extrinsic characters: title page, format, ornate initials, typographical marks, bindings and illustrations. Among these it should be emphasized the presence of some Aldine editions, some examples of a rare collection of notices and gazettes and almanacs, a splendid example of the Bodonian edition of the Iliad of 1808 and others.
