Description

The Illuminated Books Project is a private non-profit, collaborative effort of three individuals, Alfredo Malchiodi, Anita Malchiodi and Carlos Alonso Cabezas, who share a vision to make available, in high-resolution, many illuminated and illustrated books from their private collections. These books are mainly from the 19th Century Victorian Period, Arts and Craft style and Private Presses extending from 1800’s to the 1920’s. In the selection of books exhibited, particular emphasis is given to the illustration and illumination over the literary content.

Alfredo Malchiodi was born and raised in Rome, Italy. His school years gave him a rigorous and classical training in Art. He studied in Rome at the institute Manieri-Copernico and at the Fine Art Academy. In 1967 he received his degree in Art & Crafts and Art & Architectural History. He also frequented the School of Architecture were he served as Assistant Professor. As were many Renaissance masters, Alfredo is multi-talented. His breadth of knowledge is not easily confined the Fine Arts or limited in scope. Both while a student and after graduation, he worked for Italian and Spanish television and in the Italian cinema. In his work for television, he traveled around Europe and North Africa covering current events and producing stories on Italian culture and history.

Though a Canadian citizen, Alfredo currently makes his home in the San Francisco Bay Area where he has a graphic arts studio. Returning to his roots as an artist but combining it with modern technology, he began the Illuminated Manuscripts Project, a.k.a. www.alfredom.com.
