Filippio de Lavagna [inserted] an educated + prosperous citizen of Milan [end inserted - in 1470 established a printing house in
Milan with Antonio Zarotto of Parma - the books published
by Lavagna. Lavagne's contribution to the enterprise was that
of owners of the plant, editor & publisher. Zarotto organized
his own company in 1472. He continued to print in Milan
until 1514, the date of his death. Christopher Valdarfer, a
master printer at Venice in 1471 was indiced by Lavagne to
transfer his plant to Milan in 1472, for Lavagne proposed
with other booksellers of Milan to provide Valdarfer [inserted] 1st issue in print of the Decameron [end inserted] with
work enough in 1473 to keep a presser busy.

[inserted] from Proctor [end inserted] It is a question how far Lavagnia was a printer. In 1498, certainly
he had books printed for him by Pachet & Scinzenzeler - at a later
period he was certainly more publisher than printer & possibly he had no
press at that time. - Pacificus Typo 6 2011 = 89mm.
