Although there are those who are afraid that books and print will disappear in the future, others are looking to prevent such an occurrence and have created the group "Friends of the Museum" to protect the Universal Printing Museum. The idea to create it dates from 1911 when books and frontispieces were found in the medieval Valentino district from the first decades of Italian typography. It was only in the 1960's, though, that Ernesto Saroglia created the collection. The museum displays machines and equipment used in printing from as early as the 17th century.
