Publishers since 1907

Books are our historical activity: from Italian and foreign fiction to non-fiction, from poetry to classics, from children’s and teenagers’ books to large illustrated volumes and art catalogues, both in paper and digital formats (e-books and audio-books); we publish school textbooks for every level of education and teaching sector, paper and e-books, fine and pocket editions.
A natural complement to our activities as book publishers is the chain of bookstores, a network of over 500 stores throughout the country.
We are also the leading multimedia publisher in Italy, with a significant presence in all digital and social media, as well as in print magazines. The Group is also the leading multimedia publisher, with a strong presence in the digital and social media segments, as well as a in the print magazine segment. In 2024, the Group also launched a new initiative, PLAI, the first accelerator for start-ups working in the field of generative artificial intelligence.

Awareness of our role

Alongside the responsible, sustainable management of our company, with respect for civil society and the environment, we wish to contribute towards reinforcing our country’s extremely significant intangible heritage of culture and beauty and broadening its horizons in terms of opportunity.
Because we have a profound sense that we too are part of this heritage.

Our strategy

The path for the coming years will be characterised by increasing commitment towards book publishing, with a view to consolidating a position of leadership in Italy and greater presence on the international market, by expansion of our bookstore franchise network, which will contribute still further to reinforcing our book business.

And finally by building on the brands with the greatest scope for digital development, a prerequisite for a continued presence in such a complex market as magazines.
