In 1276, Fabriano became one of the earliest places in Europe to produce [[paper]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Haegen |first=Pierre Louis |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5KcmAQAAIAAJ |title=Der frühe Basler Buchdruck: ökonomische, sozio-politische und informationssystematische Standortfaktoren und Rahmenbedingungen |date=2001 |publisher=Schwabe |isbn=978-3-7965-1090-8 |pages=83 |language=de}}</ref> Since the 13th century and even today, the town has a reputation for fine [[watermark]]ed paper. This led to Fabriano's prosperity in the [[Late Middle Ages]] and the [[Renaissance]], and was also one of the factors that led to the establishment of nearby [[Foligno]] in Umbria as one of the earliest printing centers in Italy in the 15th century, from 1470 onwards.
