Baskerville Centro Studi is dedicated to John Baskerville (1705-1775), English typographer and printer.
Baskerville developed a new typeface (the famous "Baskerville") and also was responsible for significant innovations in printing, paper and ink production. He developed a technique which produced a smoother whiter paper which showcased his strong black type. Baskerville also pioneered a completely new style of typography, adding wide margins and leading between each line.
John Baskerville is the inventor of modern publishing.
