Aldus Manutius (family name Mannucci or Manuzio), educated in Rome and Ferrara, founds the Aldine Press, a pioneering family printing firm.
It becomes the first press to produce printed editions of many of the Greek and Latin classics and the first to use italic type, a font created to accommodate the requirements for pocket-size books, another of the Aldine Press’s significant innovations.
