Giornale della Libreria
Magazine of Italian Publishers Association for people working with books and reading them
Giornale della Libreria is the magazine on book publishing world published since 1888 by the Italian Publishers Association. We have a daily updated website (www.giornaledellalibreria.it) and we come out with 4 print issues each year.
The March 2026 issue opens with an overview of the industry market, an analysis of the 100 best-selling children’s and YA titles of 2025, and a series of interviews with publishers working in this segment to explore what it means to publish books for today’s young readers. This is followed by an in-depth look at reading promotion practices, spanning schools and libraries. The issue concludes with a feature on the Umberto and Elisabetta Mauri Booksellers’ School, which launched the publishing year by bringing together leading professionals from the global publishing industry to discuss the theme The Intelligence of Books. At the heart of the issue, a special feature in English—curated by the Bologna Children’s Book Fair—offers further insight into the fair.
The magazine (distributed by subscription) has a weekly newsletter full of news and content, which you can subscribe to for free here.
