Giuseppe Nerbini founded the publishing house in Florence, which still exists today. Until that time, the owner of the publishing house had been working as a newsagent. Nerbini wanted publications that would be inexpensive and reach the readership of the broad social class. The publishing house began by reproducing classic novels and gradually expanded its range to include comics and plain-bound novels. Today, these publications are among the paperback editions commonly known as "dime novels." Nerbini secured the rights to the Italian edition of Mickey Mouse, but without the rights to the mouse, and launched his own version of the weekly comic. Tancredi Scarpelli made his debut as an illustrator with the beginning of the 19th century. His first works appeared in various magazines and publishing houses. He worked for The Sunday Newspaper and Illustrated Scene, among others, before The close collaboration with Nerbini began.
Tancredi Scarpelli's career did not initially point in an artistic direction. Born into a family whose male members were all in the military, Tancredi first chose the prescribed path. Like his father, Scarpelli joined the Italian army and went through training until he was appointed fencing master. Why Tancredi left the military and traded the rapier for pencil and brush is not known. His first steps into artistic life were almost certainly an economic venture. As for Nerbini's remuneration, it can only be assumed that it was not generous due to the low prices for the publishing media. As with many artists, the intention to paint lay more in the passion for painting.
Tancredi Scarpelli illustrations accompany numerous new editions. With today's eye, the translation and texts are not even mediocre, but the accompanying art makes them a darling for art enthusiasts. Tancredi illustrated in large format and one of his most famous works is the History of Italy. Regal are the colours that clothe one Julius Caesar as he crosses a river on a beautiful horse. The clarity of the depictions and the elegance that speaks from these illustrations is striking. With the increasing popularity of comic depictions, stories and characters reached the Italian readership that were developed abroad. Nerbini and Scarpelli brought the detective-like characters surrounding Nick Carter and Nat Pinkerton to the Italian media world. Tancredi soon gained a reputation as an exceptional cartoonist for detective stories with a hint of crime and thrills. Tancredi Scarpelli's oeuvre includes over ninety titles, and the number of individual subjects is almost impossible to count. It is believed that there are still unknown pictures of the illustrator. Many of his elaborations are simply signed with the artist's initials or have fragments of his name.
