The initial idea was born to Aziza Karrara in 1988. Her desire was to offer practical and easy tools of excellent quality to everybody, even if not an artist, to set their creativity and imagination free to express.

STAMPERIA as a brand was launched in 1995, when in Italy and in other parts of the world clear knowledge about the hobby world was still scarce. The first collection included stencils, stamps, acrylic paints as well as decoupage papers and rice paper – a sensational novelty at the time as Stamperia was the first company in the world to print on rice paper.
