UN TASTO ITALIANO. Remington and Cesare Verona in Turin
Officina della Scrittura is the first museum in the world dedicated to the Sign. It is an important project that traces the birth and growth of a remarkable invention: written communication.
UN TASTO ITALIANO. Remington and Cesare Verona in Turin is an exhibition that brings together objects and documents related to the history of Remington typewriters, for which Cesare Verona Sr was the sole dealer in Italy.
This is the Verona family’s first real approach to writing.
Remington has the distinction of being the company that created the first industrial typewriter in 1873. One of the first users of the typewriters produced by the company was none other than Mark Twain, the first writer to produce a typewritten manuscript.
The exhibition winds its way through Officina della Scrittura and dialogues with the permanent collection, in a continuous exchange that has the sign as its common thread. One can admire typewriters that marked an epoch, from the Sholes and Glidden, the world’s first industrial machine, which had features still in use today on every single computer keyboard, to the most modern laptops, passing through the Remington Standard No. 5, the first one sold by Cesare Verona. Sholes invented
invented the typewriter as we know it today, introducing the QWERTY layout.
