| | Graphistudio
Graphistudio was founded in 1981 as a small graphic and photographic advertising studio. In 1987, as a result of the enlargement and diversification of the company, it expanded into the wedding photography market. The idea was to offer newly weds a photographic album using the latest creative graphic techniques. The concept was an immediate success as it was to the traditional wedding photography environment. Soon the Adamo Creazioni brand service became known throughout the Venetian region and became the preferred choice of thousands of newly weds. To cope with this demand and to achieve more ambitious growth targets for larger markets, a new digital production solution called informatics was used.
