Museum Rondani

Established in 1921 by Vincent and James Rondani, owners of Printing School, after many events that caused the closure and dispersal of the materials the museum was reopened in 1997 at the premises of the eighteenth century Palazzo Cavalli. Here, two charming rooms house the valuable collection of antique publications, books, sonnets, engravings, and wood intaglio printing matrices, documents, presses and equipment, to document an activity that dates back to Carmarthen at the end of the fifteenth century. Horses owned by the Opera Pia, which finances it, the museum's management is entrusted to the Centre for Studies Carmagnolesi. Presses, printing machinery and equipment, early editions, collections of posters illustrated devotional, woodblock and intaglio dies, engraving and printing, document a long tradition that has lasted for five centuries in Carmarthen. A fascinating journey into the history of printing, the invention of Gutenberg to the present day.
