Laterza Editori
Editori Laterza is an Italian publishing house founded by Giovanni Laterza in Bari in 1901, initially under the name of Casa Editrice Gius. Laterza & Sons. The Laterza books initially set out to become a service editor for Bari and Apulian authors, with particular attention to the themes of technical, economic, commercial and legal culture. However, following the meeting with Benedetto Croce, Giovanni Laterza 's initial program veered towards a completely different connotation: the local publisher now finds himself projected towards the European horizon, the publisher of technical books and literature books becomes editor of essays and books on culture ; the publisher hunting for publishing opportunities becomes a selective and demanding publisher. Within a few years, the Library of Modern Culture, the first series of the Laterza publishing house and the first magazine were founded. Around 1960 three innovations were introduced: the promotion of Laterza books was launched in bookstores and schools, a branch of the Laterza publishing house was opened in Rome and the one in Bari was restructured. The family company was then transformed into a joint-stock company. At the beginning of the 90s new trends were opened, for which the Laterza publishing house was oriented towards books on law , Romance philology , pedagogy and didactics. In addition, international collaboration initiatives are launched with other publishing houses, among which the most significant is the Fare l'Europa series, which can be consulted, together with the other Laterza books , directly within the Laterza catalogue, accessible at this link .

Adelphi
Adelphi is an Italian publishing house, founded in Milan by Luciano Foã , Roberto Olivetti and Roberto Bazlen . The Adelphi publisher story begins in 1962, where there was still talk of unique books as Adelphi hadn't found his name. Among the Adelphi books there were only a few certain data: the critical edition of Nietzsche and a series of classic books , based on the criterion of doing well what had previously been done less well and doing for the first time what had previously been done ignored. The name Adelphi was proposed and decided by Bazlen in May of the same year, but what does Adelphi mean? The meaning Adelphi derives from a Greek word which means "brothers, associates", which expresses the commonality of purpose among the founding members. In addition to the birth of the name of the Adelphi publishing house , the logo is also designed for the first time: the meaning of the Adelphi logo is revealed in a Chinese pictogram which means "death and rebirth". In 2006, Adelphi editore became the property of the RCS group, while in 2015 it was sold to Mondadori.
Within the Adelphi catalogue, the Adelphi publishing house proposes its own volumes ordered according to theme (from art books to religion books , from Greek and Latin classics or from philosophy to economics books; from poetry books to history , physics or mathematics books), the year of publication and the reference Adelphi series. There are many series belonging to the Adelphi publishing house, among which we mention: Classics, inaugurated in 1963 with The life and adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and Adelphi Library, founded in 1965. The volumes of the Adelphi library mainly consist of translations of works written in over 30 foreign languages, and the importation of these texts and authors into Italy is due in particular to the publisher Adelphi . This series is characterized by an openness towards all genres and towards every species of author since publishing " unique books " within a series serves to give them a support that keeps them together despite their disparate physiognomies. And so the Adelphi library contains novels , essays , autobiographies , plays , all chosen according to a fundamental criterion: the depth of experience from which they are born and of which they are a living testimony.

Sellerio
Sellerio Editore is an Italian publishing house founded in 1969 in Palermo by Elvira Giorgianni and her husband Enzo Sellerio . The first turning point of the Sellerio publishing house comes with the publication of L'affaire Moro by Leonardo Sciascia , which fully represents the style of the Sellerio books : a courageous denunciation book written in magnificent prose; a book of great responsibility but written to be read and enjoyed. In 1983, the Sellerio publishing house was reorganized into two separate managements: Elvira Giorgianni took care of publishing fiction and essays, while Enzo Ssellerio dedicated himself to art books and photography books . A second important turning point is the birth of the blue series of Memory, which first of all revises the graphics of the Sellerio books : in the metallic greyness of the covers of those years the blue stain, the laid paper and the figurative pictorial image in the center of the dust jacket break through, inside a colored frame that recalled the color of the letters of the title. Alongside the birth of the most important series, the Sellerio publishing house is launching a new genre of Italian mystery book , born with the publication of Carta Bianca by Carlo Lucarelli . The world of detective literature will later expand, winning a huge success represented, at its peak, by the Sicilian school detective story, which sees Andrea Camilleri and Santo Piazzese as absolute protagonists. The Sellerio thrillers are highly successful and widely circulated titles: Camilleri sells five million copies produced in Palermo, plus the translation rights sold as far as Japan. An oddity that accompanies the Sellerio publishing house concerns the fact that for forty years it has remained identical: in fact, Sellerio books keep the same paper, the formats, the blue of the cover; finally, the necklaces still follow the graphic design of Enzo Sellerio .

Even today, the publisher Hoepli is chaired by Barbara Hoepli , descendant of a grandson founder. The Hoepli publishing house specializes in scientific publications, carrying out its activity mainly in the sector of school books and technical manuals, as well as in linguistic publishing and in the publication of dictionaries. Hoepli books for school include books for high school, technical and professional education; the Hoepli school sector is just one of the many presented in the extensive catalog of the Hoepli editore . Alongside this, the Hoepli publishing house offers a wide range of Hoepli books for foreigners, which include courses and guided readings to learn Italian. The Hoepli manuals, on the other hand, range from the mechanics manual to the surveyor manual, while the Hoepli dictionaries are also easily consultable on the web, under the heading Hoepli online dictionaries . The Hoepli story is affected by the changes in history, such as the first and second world wars or the rise of fascism, and by the progress of society. In 1897 the Hoepli manual series, the backbone of the Hoepli catalogue, reached 500 titles. The main topics dealt with concern techniques and trades, or can be enclosed within art books . Over time, the Hoepli books also give space to other topics, such as parapsychology and palmistry and, moreover, new strands are added such as that of children's books , series of classics of Italian literature , travel and women's and children's magazines. During the First World War, the Hoepli publishing house suffered a slowdown in production, but in 1921 it was again at the top in the dissemination of technical-scientific culture through the sale of Hoepli manuals . The advent of the Second World War and Fascism brought serious damage to the Hoepli bookshop, limiting the availability of Hoepli books in the catalogue. At the end of the conflict, Carlo Hoepli reconstructed the Hoepli catalogue, subsequently starting the publication of the Hoepli encyclopaedia in six volumes. Since the sixties, the publisher Hoepli has adapted to changes in society, extending its production to new technologies, such as telecommunications, electronics and information technology, as a result, for example, the use of Hoepli ebooks. In the seventies the Hoepli school sector developed, with the production and sale of school books and, in the following years, Hoepli books became increasingly oriented towards technique, manuals , school and university publishing.

Edizioni E/O
Edizioni e/o was born in Rome in 1979, founded by Sandro Ferri and Sandra Ozzola . The publishing house Edizioni e/o has always been the expression of the desire to create bridges and breaches in literary frontiers to stimulate dialogue between cultures. This already manifests itself in the name, so when searching for the Editions and/or meaning the "e/o" stands for "and/or/ but also for "east/west". At first, the books of Edizioni e/o focus on the literature of Eastern countries, of which the debut book remains Explosion of an empire? by Hélène Carrère d'Encausse , an essay on the fate of the USSR. Subsequently, the publishing house Edizioni e/o publishes other great authors, up to the Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Aleksievič, who was the first to introduce E dizioni e/o to the Italian public. In a second moment, the books of E dizioni and/or turn to the West, to American fiction books , but not only: the exploration continues from the Caribbean to Africa, importing great authors from their respective countries, always accompanied by the passion for French literature .
The Mediterranean area was no less stimulating from a publishing point of view, with special attention also paid to female writers, from Christa Wolf to Elena Ferrante, with her unprecedented worldwide success. Today, the E dizioni e/o publishing house has also broadened its horizons to include fantasy books , such as the best-selling saga of Attraversaspecchi by Christelle Dabos. Finally, the passion for cultural exchange that has characterized E dizioni e/o since its inception led Sandro Ferri and Sandra Ozzola to create Europa Editions, a new publishing house based in New York and London. Within the Editions and/or catalogue, it is possible to immediately view how the editions and/or books come from over fifty different countries, underlining once again the attention that the publishing house and/or places towards culture and cultural exchange.
