Reverdito Editore

Reverdito Editore is an Italian publishing house based in Trento, founded in March 1970 by Luigi Reverdito. It was classified as a "medio editore" (medium-sized publisher) from 1983 to 1993, publishing more than ten titles per year. Over the decades it developed main areas of interest including historical novels, fantasy, the fantastic and mainstream fiction, as well as manuals, essays, biographies and art history volumes. After belonging to various publishing groups over the years, the last of which was Giunti, Reverdito Editore re-founded its own editorial organization while preserving the traditional fields of interest that were the basis of its success. Among the authors and well-known figures who have published with Reverdito are Giulio Andreotti, Luca Azzolini, Pierdomenico Baccalario, Pippo Baudo, François Brune, Matteo Collura, Francesco Falconi, Luca Farinotti, Demofilo Fidani, Biancamaria Frabotta, Paola Giovetti, Wolfgang Hohlbein, Arthur Machen, Egisto Malfatti, Miria di San Servolo (stage name of Maria Petacci), Vittorio Sgarbi, Giorgio Tosatti and many others. In the mid-1980s the publisher released "Esiste l'Aldilà", a testimony by a father, a lawyer from Trieste, searching for his son who mysteriously disappeared in Turin, the volleyball player Andrea Sardos Albertini. The book, whose first edition is from October 1985, with introductory texts by Father Pasquale Magni and Paola Giovetti, soon became a bestseller, later published by Euroclub and by Rizzoli in the BUR series. The publisher has received several awards: Premio Cesare Pavese 2009 (special prize for "San Francesco d'Assisi" by Giuseppe Crescimbeni), Premio Cesare Pavese 2010 (special prize for "Il cavaliere dell'Anno Mille" by Gianni Sembianti), Premio Strega 2013 ("Gola di pietra" by Luigi Lambertini among the presented works), Premio Antonio Semeria 2018 (second place for narrative for "Un amore in piazza" by Daniela Larentis and Nadia Clementi), Premio Bancarella della Cucina 2019 ("La salsiccia Abarth" by Silvano Faggioni won the "Selezione" prize), Premio Bancarella Sport 2021 ("Dolomiti da leggenda" by Beppe Conti won the "Selezione" prize), Premio Acqui Ambiente 2022 (again "Dolomiti da leggenda" by Beppe Conti won the prize), Premio Antonio Semeria 2025 ("Stava: l'altra storia. 40 anni tra chimica e mistero" by Claudio Doliana won the non-fiction prize), and Premio Acqui Ambiente 2026 (again "Stava: l'altra storia" among the finalists).
