Centro Editoriale Valtortiano

Centro Editoriale Valtortiano (CEV) is an Italian publishing house founded in 1985 by Emilio Pisani, son of Michele Pisani, who was the first publisher of Maria Valtorta (1897–1961). Based in Isola del Liri, in the Lazio region of central Italy, the company has a specific and priority mission: to develop, document, and spread knowledge of Maria Valtorta—her person, her writings, and her ideals. This is achieved through historical-documentary research, collection of testimonies, preservation of items belonging to her, protection of her name and memory, and initiatives to promote her in civil, cultural, and ecclesial fields. In terms of writings, CEV prints and sells her literary works and all documentation by and about her, in Italian and in translations. It also promotes religious instruction, especially biblical, in a Catholic sense. The company operates a bookstore and online store (mariavaltortastore.com) offering books, e-books, and audiobooks. Its flagship offering is the complete ten-volume work *L'Evangelo come mi è stato rivelato* (The Gospel as Revealed to Me), often sold as a set with promotional gifts. Other notable publications include *I Quaderni del 1943*, *I Quaderni del 1945-1950*, and *La vita di Gesù nella Storia*. CEV also maintains a blog and provides resources about Maria Valtorta's life and writings. The publishing house is rooted in the typographic tradition of Isola del Liri, a town known since the early 19th century for its paper mills and printing industry. CEV continues to serve a global readership interested in Valtorta's mystical writings, with translations available in multiple languages. It remains a private, family-linked enterprise, closely associated with the Pisani family's publishing legacy.

Centro Editoriale Valtortiano (CEV) was established in 1985 by Emilio Pisani, son of Michele Pisani (1896–1965), who was the first publisher of Maria Valtorta (1897–1961). The company was founded with a specific and priority purpose, as stated in its constitutive act: to develop, document, and spread knowledge of Maria Valtorta in her person, her writings, and her ideals. This mission is carried out through historical-documentary research, collection of testimonies, preservation of items belonging to her, protection of her name and memory, and initiatives to promote her in civil, cultural, and ecclesial fields. Regarding her writings, CEV prints and sells her literary works and all documentation by and about her, in Italian and in translations. It also promotes religious instruction, especially biblical, in a Catholic sense. The publishing house is based in Isola del Liri, a town in the Lazio region of central Italy. The town's name derives from the Liri River, which splits near an ancient castle, forms two waterfalls, and rejoins after embracing the town center. In the early 19th century, French entrepreneurs who had followed Joachim Murat (elected King of Naples by Napoleon Bonaparte) established paper mills in the area, making Isola del Liri one of Europe's most important centers for paper production, alongside paper-converting and felt industries. In the following century, a printing-publishing house flourished there, primarily printing for religious institutes and congregations. CEV continues this typographic tradition. CEV operates a bookstore and online store (mariavaltortastore.com) offering books, e-books, and audiobooks. Its flagship publication is the complete ten-volume work *L'Evangelo come mi è stato rivelato* (The Gospel as Revealed to Me), which is often sold as a set with a promotional gift. Other notable titles include *I Quaderni del 1943*, *I Quaderni del 1945-1950*, and *La vita di Gesù nella Storia*. The company also maintains a blog and provides resources about Maria Valtorta's life and writings. It serves a global readership interested in Valtorta's mystical writings, with translations available in multiple languages. CEV remains a private, family-linked enterprise, closely associated with the Pisani family's publishing legacy.
