Nebiolo Types - advert issued by the Società Nebiolo Turin, 1958
A set of adverts from the 1958 Penrose Annual showing the various post-war type faces of the Società Nebiolo Turin with many of the named typefaces having been designed in-house by Alessandro Butti (1893 - 1959) and Aldo Novarese (1920 - 1995). The company's origin's date back to 1852 when Giovanni Nebiolo purchased an existing type foundery in Turin. The company expanded to produce not only type matrices but also printing presses and paper machinery.
It became the Società Nebiolo in 1916 and was purchased by the industrial conglomerate Fiat in 1978. The machinery part of concern is still in business and I think the type matrices are now owned by Stempel.
