From the soft-touch splash-resistant cover to the velvety paper inside, Ispira is an experience that says who you are.

Express
Yourself
Whatever your style, whatever your practice, whatever you like to draw, write, paint, print or doodle, we have what it takes to help you express yourself. So you can get better, so you can feel better.

Fine Arts
We’ve developed a range of special papers for professionals, students and artists. Let your paintbrush – or pencil – run free. Just like your ideas.

Art at School
A memory of the one hour a week dedicated to technical or artistic creativity. The iconic, memorable F2 and F4 pads. The products in our School range have been, still are and always will be supporting generations of students in the development of their creativity and manual skills.

Paper Craft
There are times when we have to forget about the rules. We designed Paper Craft for precisely those times. Let loose and start folding, modelling and shaping at your own pace. Because every important goal starts with lots of small but brilliant ideas.

Stationery
Remember the stationery shop where, as a kid, you could lose yourself for hours on end amongst journals, sketch pads, pens, pencil cases and notepads? And the diaries, planners, letter paper, cards and so much more? People call it stationery but we know it’s much more than that. You find the words, the thoughts, the drawings. We’ll find how to express them. In pure Italian style.

Printmaking
Our paper is older than printing itself, but we’ll never settle for the way things have always been done. That’s why we’ve adapted products with thousands of years of history to the most modern printing techniques. That’s why we keep making history, sheet after sheet.

Business
For your creativity at work. For any brilliant idea, no matter how big or small. Our Office range was designed to support you, every day, for printing, reminders, notes or photocopies.
Timeless masters
Over the years some of the greatest masters of art and some of the greatest thinkers have fallen in love with our papers, from Michelangelo to Beethoven. Our timeless Masters.

Michelangelo
Buonarroti

Michelangelo
Buonarroti
During the Renaissance, Italy’s municipalities and states were shaken by continuous, important political upheavals. Despite the turbulent period, production at the Fabriano paper mills did not stop, and in fact increased in volume and quality. Along with archival finds, papers, watermarks, and various documents, evidence of this extraordinary phase in the life of the paper mill comes from a letter written by Michelangelo Buonarroti who was active in the peninsula during that time. The content is jovial, almost comical, and the imprint of the Fabriano Paper Mills remains …

Federico
Fellini

Federico
Fellini
«Why do I draw the characters in my films? It’s a way to start looking the film in the face, to see what kind it is, the attempt to stare at something, albeit tiny, bordering on insignificant, but which still seems to me to have something to do with the film, and that subtly speaks to me about itself». These are the words of 5-time Oscar-winning Federico Fellini. And, in a healthy exchange of excellence, it was often Fabriano paper that hosted this master’s drawings …

Gabriele
D’Annunzio

Gabriele
D’Annunzio
The private correspondence between D’Annunzio and Olga Brunner Levi, pianist and singer from Trieste, in 1916 took place on a special type of paper.
The sheets not only show the passion between the two, but also the presence of Fabriano paper inside the desk of the author of the Halcyon, watermarked and with the initials PMF Pietro Miliani Fabriano.
