Ep.23 | X-Small – ENG

A production of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and storielibere.fm, in partnership with cultural association Monteverdelegge

How does an extra-small publishing house operate? What are the challenges that the many small and very small Italian publishers have to overcome to get themselves known by readers? And how much do these miniscule firms, which are often based in secluded locations outside the big cities, count in the publishing market? Leafing through the Alfabeto italiano, the pages opens at the letter X, X as in X-small, the abbreviation for the smallest sizes in garments with which we playfully describe the many miniscule publishing houses that characterise and enrich the Italian publishing panorama.

With Alberto Casiraghi (Pulcinoelefante) and Silvia La Posta (Moscabianca)
