80 years of Electa between art and culture.

Founded in 1945 in the fervor of postwar reconstruction, Electa Editore has always seen art as an instrument of freedom and knowledge. Since 1952 in Milan, it has become a point of reference for Italian visual culture, accompanying the narrative of design, architecture, photography and criticism.
In 2025, this path is renewed with contaminations of languages and new narratives: new series, cultural projects and the dialogue between image and word, to speak to contemporary audiences.

Highlighted for the birthday is the Pesci d’oro series: three new titles of illustrated short essays renewing the historic “Goldfish” series inspired by Emilio Cecchi’s critical approach.
The first two volumes are:

• Michele Dantini, Bernard Berenson and Contemporary Art.
• Antonella Anedda, The Life of Details.

Electa continues to build bridges with major cultural institutions such as Triennale Milano and Biennale di Venezia, and with Fondazione Fondamenta for new forms of cultural participation.
