Abstract

Since its discovery, the book has always been the medium of
information and knowledge transfer. With the invention of the printing
press in 1450, a book itself acquired new value while printing houses spread
widely. The brothers Gaspare and Antonio Coana immigrated from Venice
to Rovinj in 1859, then an important economic centre, and on March 5,
1859, established the first printing house in Istria called Tipografia Istriana.
The aim of paper is to present the activity of the printing house Tipografia
Istriana from its foundation to the transformation into Istragrafika that
took place in the period after the World War II. The paper also seeks
to emphasize the tourist valorisation of the printing house and give an
overview of the exhibition opened on the occasion of the 160th anniversary
of its founding in the Rovinj-Rovigno City Museum.
