INFO EPISODIO
Ep. 5 | Libreria – ENG
A production of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and storielibere.fm, in collaboration with cultural association Monteverdelegge
What is the role of a bookshop, now that we’ve gotten so used to buying books online? And what are booksellers doing to offer an alternative to the giants of the web?
Leafing through the letters of Alfabeto italiano, the page opens at the letter L – L as in Libreria, or bookshop in English, the place where, in most cases, even today, books can find their reader. A shop unlike any other, if what Romano Montroni said is true: “Books are still the best way of circulating ideas and bookshops are still the best places to sell them.”
With Elisabetta Cavani (ItalLibri) and Fabio Masi (L’ultima spiaggia)
ALFABETO ITALIANO ENG
Of Maria Teresa Carbone
A production of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and storielibere.fm, in collaboration with cultural association Monteverdelegge
How does the world of books operate today? What does the work of a publishing house consist of? And how do Italian publishers look abroad? Alfabeto Italiano, the podcast made by Storielibere for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, tells the story of publishing in Italy in 24 words, from A to Z. This journey to discovery the passionate work hidden behind every book is conducted by Maria Teresa Carbone, author, journalist and translator, who meets the heads of publishing houses, booksellers and communicators, graphic designers and translators, teachers and illustrators: an ideal journey towards two events where Italians will be to the fore, the Salon du Livre de Paris 2023 and the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2024.
