United in Support of Cultural Heritage

A constellation of leading companies, united by a common vision

Franco Cosimo Panini Editore

Founded in Modena in 1989, the publishing house was the brainchild of its devoted founder, Franco Cosimo Panini, following the sale of the family’s well-known sports memorabilia business.

The Museum division of Franco Cosimo Panini Editore offers products and services for public and private institutions engaged in promoting cultural heritage. The objective is to facilitate wider distribution of content that adds both tangible and symbolic value to institutions.

The company designs and produces editorial products for print and digital publication, targeted to different audiences, languages, and forms of expression. It also develops branded merchandise based on a museum’s content, visual identity, and history. In addition, the company provides project management services for the development and deployment of e-commerce platforms, along with consulting services for marketing and promotion of product lines.
