Watch Ulisse. Il piacere della scoperta Season 15 Episode 13 Online

Writing paper, reading paper, money paper, wrapping paper, wallpaper, kitchen paper, even construction paper and toilet paper. But also letters, diaries, coasters, birth certificates, board games, business cards, photographs and tea bags... An ancient material that we have always used and whose consumption shows no signs of decreasing, but which over the centuries has evolved to become almost 100% recyclable and reusable. A fiction will reconstruct the environment of the first medieval European paper mills, born here in Italy, in Fabriano, when the paper, which is of Chinese origin, after crossing the Arab world, arrives in the West. We will discover in the Tuscan industrial center of Capannori, near Lucca, that Italy is a world leader in paper production: a sort of economic lung from which a large part of the handkerchiefs (and not only) produced in the world come.
