Piero Pacini da Pescia (flourished 1495–1514) was an Italian publisher.[1] He lived and worked in Florence, Italy. Pacini made operettes. His publishing house was known for publishing quality woodcuts in their books. After his death, his son, Bernardo, continued the business.[2] Works by Pacini are held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Library of Congress.[1][3]
His printer's mark can be found as a decoration on the Albert Kahn designed Muskegon Chronicle building in Muskegon, Michigan, USA. It was sculpted by Corrado Parducci.[4]
