Legàmi: A Tribute to Paolo Ciampini

In 2025, the community of Palaia (PI) and the Tuscan art world bid farewell to Paolo Ciampini, who passed away on August 15. Born in Marti in 1941, a student of the Cascina Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, where he taught engraving techniques, he was considered one of the most refined contemporary Italian engravers.

His passing is the starting point for the tribute project that the Municipality of Palaia, in collaboration with the Museo della Grafica of Pisa and the artist's family, built in the following months: the Legàmi exhibition and the project for the Foundation named after him, which would see the light in June 2026.
