RA Collection: People and Organisations
Printer, publisher, bookseller, in Venice, 1536-78. In partnership with his father, 1536-40; with his brothers, 1550-6.. He was one of the first major publishers of literature in the vernacular Italian language. In 1523 he established the Libreria della Fenice (Bookshop of the Phoenix), a printing press and bookstore, with his father in the Rialto district of Venice, at the time a major European center of the new art of printing. Giolito was also well known for his printer’s device, which had many variations but was most often represented by a phoenix emerging from flames atop a globe with the initials G.G.F
