Giovanni Gussoni in 1874 bought the business of Antonio Ronchi typographer in Via Unione 5 in Milan, and then moved in 1883 to the shop of the Southern Porticoes in Piazza Duomo. Giovanni Gussoni was followed by his son Vittorio, who on April 16, 1907 sold the company to a collaborator, Giovanni Serra, who continued the business until November 1914.
Man has always wanted to know the world in which he lives and has used all the means available to measure the space that surrounds him to expand his knowledge more and more. The conditions that allowed man to develop models of the world and space were probably realized only after thought had reached such a development that it was understood that natural processes could be represented through a model. Already in ancient Greece, naturalists had come to understand the sphericity of the Earth and its position suspended in space.
