Società Editrice Milanese

Società Editrice Milanese (SEM) is an Italian publishing house founded in Milan in 2016 by Riccardo Cavallero, a former chief executive of Mondadori, together with the poet Antonio Riccardi and Valerio Giuntini. It began publishing books the following year, in 2017. The company's shareholding structure has included Mario Rossetti, the Gruppo Feltrinelli and Anthos Produzioni. In 2023 SEM was fully absorbed by the Gruppo Feltrinelli, becoming part of one of Italy's largest publishing groups. SEM publishes Italian trade books across a range of imprints and series, including the general 'SEM' list, 'SEM Classic', 'SEM UE' (Universale Economica) and 'Tabloid'. Its catalogue spans literary fiction, crime and noir, current affairs, music and popular culture, and illustrated titles. Among the titles promoted on its website are 'Luca non parlava mai di Luca Carboni' by Luca Carboni, 'Genesi' by Elena Testi, 'Mala' by Francesca Fagnani, 'L'appuntamento' by Piergiorgio Pulixi, 'Cenere' by Oriana Ramunno, 'E così per non morire' by Paolo Roversi, 'Hendiadys' by Flaminia Galeoni, 'Carbonio' by Lorenzo Savastano and 'Napoli come vuoi' by The Napolitaner. The site also highlights the Universale Economica Noir series, described as crime writing with many voices that tell of our time. SEM operates as a trade publisher within the Italian market, with a catalogue oriented toward contemporary Italian authors and topical non-fiction. Its website functions as a shop window for new releases, pre-orders, author events, in-depth features, news, specials, rankings and video content. Following its absorption by the Gruppo Feltrinelli in 2023, SEM continues to publish under its own brand as part of the Feltrinelli group's publishing activities.
