Persiani Editore

Persiani Editore (also known as Casa Editrice Persiani or Gruppo Persiani Editore) is an Italian publishing house headquartered in Bologna. It was founded in 2005 when New Media Entertainment, a company producing radio and television programmes, decided to enter the book publishing sector. The publisher describes itself as nationally distributed and reports more than 400 titles in its catalogue, organised into 28 different series (collane). The catalogue is deliberately broad, spanning fiction (narrativa), non-fiction (saggistica), poetry, theatre, cinema and entertainment, as well as psychology, science, local and national history, art and oriental studies. Persiani Editore states that its editorial line is based on the principle of freedom and plurality of thought, and that its catalogue includes series and publications of diametrically opposed inspiration. A notable example is its psychology series — Sviluppo Integrale, Immagini dall'inconscio, Temenos and Quaderni Asolani — in which scholars from opposing schools, such as Jungians and Freudians, present high-level scientific theses. Some of these series are curated by important institutes, including the post-graduate School of Analytical Psychotherapy "Aiòn", the National Association of Ecobiopsychology of Milan (ANEB) and the Temenos Jungian Cultural Centre. Among its other principal publications are texts relating to the world of entertainment, grouped in a valuable and original series of books dedicated entirely to theatre (Il Teatro di Diego Fabbri, Shakespeare in Italia, Ritratti d'attore, Memo Benassi, etc.), to cinema (Tecnologia cinematografica, Rodolfo Valentino, La Cines, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, etc.) and to the professions of entertainment (Il Manuale dell'attore, Manuale di sopravvivenza per musicisti, etc.). The publisher's series include Teatro, Temenos, Immagini dall'inconscio, Narrativa, Storia locale, Orientalistica, Sviluppo integrale, Smalti e Cammei, Quaderni Asolani, Giuridica, Manuali dello spettacolo, Testimonianze, Immagine. Note di storia del cinema, I Martedì and Il Minotauro. Persiani Editore remains a private, independent publishing venture within the Gruppo Persiani Editore, with its editorial identity centred on culture and the arts.

Persiani Editore was founded in 2005, when New Media Entertainment — a company producing radio and television programmes — decided to dedicate itself to the book publishing sector. According to the publisher's own account, this choice was made by launching a new philosophy in the definition of a quality editorial product, seeking to analyse and interpret the needs of the public, far from what it describes as the current consumerist logic of the book market. A distinctive trait of Casa Editrice Persiani is described as a natural orientation towards culture and the arts. Its editorial line is based on the fundamental principle of freedom and plurality of thought: the catalogue is characterised by series and publications of even diametrically opposed inspiration. The publisher cites its various psychology series (Sviluppo Integrale, Immagini dall'inconscio, Temenos, Quaderni Asolani) as an example, where scholars from opposing backgrounds, such as Jungians and Freudians, propose theses of high scientific profile. Some of these are curated by important institutes such as the post-graduate School of Analytical Psychotherapy "Aiòn", the National Association of Ecobiopsychology of Milan (ANEB) and the Temenos Jungian Cultural Centre. Among its other principal publications are texts relating to the world of entertainment, grouped in a valuable and original series of books dedicated entirely to theatre (Il Teatro di Diego Fabbri, Shakespeare in Italia, Ritratti d'attore, Memo Benassi, etc.), to cinema (Tecnologia cinematografica, Rodolfo Valentino, La Cines, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, etc.) and to the professions of entertainment (Il Manuale dell'attore, Manuale di sopravvivenza per musicisti, etc.). The publisher reports that it is distributed nationally and that its catalogue contains more than 400 titles divided into 28 different series. Its series span Teatro, Temenos, Immagini dall'inconscio, Narrativa, Storia locale, Orientalistica, Sviluppo integrale, Smalti e Cammei, Quaderni Asolani, Giuridica, Manuali dello spettacolo, Testimonianze, Immagine. Note di storia del cinema, I Martedì and Il Minotauro. The house is based in Bologna and operates within the Gruppo Persiani Editore.
