Leonardo DaVinci's Favorite Brand of Paper is Fabriano Medioevalis

Leonardo Da Vinci’s favorite brand of paper was Fabriano Medioevalis.

You can find the citations at The Paper Project website:

1268 . . . Paper made at Fabriano, where it is still being made . . .  Papermaking reaches Southern Italy, where until recently, some of the oldest handmade paper mills in Italy were operating near Amalfi, in the Naples area. First mention of the Fabriano, Italy, paper mills (1276). First mill established in Bologna, Italy (1293).

Paper.com sells Fabriano Medioevalis papers today.

In addition, Paper.com sells paper from the Cartiere Magnani paper mill in Pescia which has been producing paper since 1404.
