Corbaccio's origin traces back to the entrepreneurial spirit and intellectual curiosity of Enrico Dall'Oglio. It became part of the Mauri Spagnol publishing group in 2005, after being acquired by Longanesi & C. in 1992. Since 2012, it has been an editorial brand of Garzanti. The publisher has maintained continuity with the past, citing successes like Thomas Mann's 'The Magic Mountain' and Céline's 'Journey to the End of the Night' in the 'Grandi scrittori' collection, while also opening to new trends, as in the 1990s with James Redfield's 'The Celestine Prophecy'. The balance between tradition and innovation is most evident in the adventure and mountain collection 'Exploits', which includes emblematic titles by Fosco Maraini, such as 'Segreto Tibet' and 'Ore Giapponesi', alongside books by classic and contemporary mountaineers from Reinhold Messner to Alexander Huber, Kurt Diemberger, Simone Moro, Hermann Buhl, Tommy Caldwell, and adventure journalism master Jon Krakauer with 'Into Thin Air' and 'Into the Wild'. Corbaccio also aims to become a reference point for contemporary mainstream fiction, particularly thrillers.
