History

According to the publisher's website, the house was founded in 1957 by Paolo Boringhieri as an offshoot of Einaudi, and has been part of the Gruppo editoriale Mauri Spagnol since 2009. It states that the publisher focuses in particular on the themes of the sciences, mythology and folklore, and that from then on its two souls — scientific studies (mathematics, logic, physics, natural sciences) and the humanities (historiography, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, disciplines of the psyche, art history) — have run in parallel and in harmony. The website also states that with the arrival of Giulio Bollati at the helm of the publishing house in 1987, new impetus was given to the idea of an integrated culture, not rigidified by disciplinary blocks, and that new series open to contemporary history, narrative, memoirs and literary non-fiction were created.
