Passaggio edizioni

Passaggio edizioni is an Italian evangelical publishing ministry and association founded in 1994. Based in San Giorgio Bigarello, Italy, it operates as a non-profit association (Associazione evangelica) rather than a conventional commercial publisher. Its name, "passaggio," meaning "passage" or "sojourn," reflects the biblical theme of believers as pilgrims and strangers on earth, drawn from 1 Chronicles 29:15. The organization's primary mission is to translate and publish in Italian the classic works of Reformed and evangelical Christianity, which it considers underrepresented in the Italian market. The catalogue covers theology, apologetics, evangelism, preaching, commentaries, and Christian living, with a strong emphasis on the Reformed tradition. Passaggio publishes translations of Protestant Reformers from the 16th century, English Puritans from the 17th century, evangelical preachers of the 18th and 19th centuries, and contemporary authors such as Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Francis Schaeffer, R.C. Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, Philip Ryken, Edward Welch, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Carl Trueman, and Paul Tripp. It also publishes works by Italian evangelical authors from the 16th to the 20th centuries, including theologians, pastors, and martyrs. Notable early publications in this area include a treatise on the Holy Scriptures by Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562) and a biography of martyr Gofferdo Varaglia (1507–1558). Beyond publishing, Passaggio organizes an annual conference, typically held in May, focusing on major themes of Christian doctrine and life. The association also hosts conferences and conventions on theological, moral, social, historical, and cultural topics. Its stated goal is to contribute to a theological and spiritual reformation of the evangelical minority in Italy, which it describes as struggling and in need of sound literature. The organization operates primarily in Italy and serves the Italian-speaking evangelical community. It remains an active, private association with no publicly traded status or known parent company.

Passaggio edizioni was founded in 1994 as an evangelical association in Italy. The name "Passaggio" was chosen to reflect the biblical concept of believers as strangers and pilgrims on earth, based on 1 Chronicles 29:15: "We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors." This confession underscores the transitory nature of earthly life and the eternal values that should guide Christian conduct. From its inception, the association set two main objectives: the publication of evangelical texts that are internationally recognized as reference points for the Reformed faith, and the organization of conferences and conventions on theological, moral, social, historical, and cultural themes. The founders identified a significant gap in the Italian market: for spiritual, historical, and cultural reasons, Reformed literature was scarcely available in Italy, leaving the evangelical minority without access to foundational works. Passaggio began by translating and publishing works from the rich heritage of Reformed literature. This included books by 16th-century Protestant Reformers, 17th-century English Puritans, and 18th- and 19th-century evangelical preachers. The catalogue also expanded to include contemporary authors such as Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Francis Schaeffer, R.C. Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, Philip Ryken, Edward Welch, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Carl Trueman, and Paul Tripp. In addition, Passaggio committed to publishing literature by Italian evangelical authors from the 16th to the 20th centuries, including theologians, pastors, and martyrs. Early fruits of this effort included a treatise on the Holy Scriptures by Peter Martyr Vermigli (1499–1562) and a biography of martyr Gofferdo Varaglia (1507–1558). Another key aspect of Passaggio's ministry is its annual conference, usually held in May. These conferences focus on major themes of Christian doctrine and life, featuring speakers and topics designed to benefit attendees. The association also organizes other conferences and conventions on various themes. Over the years, Passaggio has established itself as a point of reference for the Italian evangelical Reformed community, providing literature and events that promote theological and spiritual reformation. The organization is based in San Giorgio Bigarello, Italy, and continues to operate as a non-profit association.
