Il libro è pensato per essere un compagno di lavoro quotidiano, più agile di un manuale completo ma più dettagliato di un semplice foglietto riassuntivo. Per decenni è stato adottato nelle scuole tecniche italiane (ITIS, IPSIA, Istituti tecnici industriali) e negli uffici tecnici di aziende manifatturiere.

Luigi Baldassini's Vademecum Per Disegnatori E Tecnici is a foundational Italian technical manual offering comprehensive guidance on mechanical design, materials, and standards. Frequently updated to include the 24th edition, this resource is designed for rapid consultation by engineers, technicians, and students.

The Vademecum's enduring success lies in its content—an incredibly dense and well-organized collection of essential data for mechanical design. Its index reads like a roadmap of mechanical engineering fundamentals:

Which do you want? If you choose 1–4, I’ll produce it. If you can paste any excerpts or key points from the PDF, I’ll use them to make the content accurate to the source.

Over the years, the manual has seen several editions, with updates for CAD standards, though many purists still swear by the classic editions of the 1980s and 1990s.

The publisher sells official e-book versions (PDF/ePub) of the latest edition of the Vademecum . These are DRM-protected but fully searchable, with hyperlinked indices and clear tables. Price is approximately €19.99–€24.99.

Do you own a vintage Baldassini? Which edition? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to compare tolerance tables or sectioning examples.
