Meet the Presenter Pietro Accardi
Pietro is from the Italian city of Turin where his father Gaetano Accardi once operated "Tipografia Accardi," a state of the art printing press. From a young age he assisted his father in the the bustling press.

Pietro went on to establish "La Legatoria del Sole," his own bookbindery in Turin for 12 years. He worked in Turin restoring and binding books. He also ran his own paper marbling and decorative box making business. In 2006, he met Vanessa, then a University exchange student. They were soon married and she later "imported" him to America. Since then he has offered workshops and presentations on the art of marbling for PSBA, FOBA and countless other groups.
