History

In 1973, Basilio Mainetti founded Suprem SRL, a B2B 24/7 analogue printing lab in Riccione catering for professional photographers who photographed summer tourists along the Romagna Riviera.[6] The 1980s-90s were the boom years for analogue photography. The company expanded domestically, opening plants in Mestre, near Venice, and Guidonia Montecelio, near Rome.[7][8]

In 2006, the company was rebranded as PhotoSì SpA with the current corporate structure. It began its conversion from analogue to digital printing.[9]

In 2007, the Album Epoca brand was trademarked by the company. It offers products and technologies designed for wedding photographers. The brand's main markets are Italy, the United States, Canada and Spain.[10][11]

PhotoSì's website launched in 2009. Three years later, its app was launched on Android and iOS in five languages.[12][13][14][15]
