Titivillus Mostre Editoria

Titivillus Mostre Editoria is an Italian publishing house dedicated to the performing arts, based in Corazzano, a hamlet of San Miniato in the province of Pisa, Tuscany. It operates as the editorial brand of the Associazione Culturale Teatrino dei Fondi, a theatre company and artistic residency directed by Enrico Falaschi, who also serves as editorial director. The name is a wry reference to Titivillus, the medieval devil believed to work for Lucifer by inducing copyists to make errors — a figure that also played a role in medieval English theatre. The press was founded in 1995 and is active from its base inside the Teatro Quaranthana in San Miniato. Its catalogue has grown to more than four hundred titles focused on twentieth-century and contemporary theatre in its many forms: research and avant-garde theatre, socially engaged theatre, prison theatre, theatre for young audiences and figure theatre. Alongside critical essays and theoretical reflections, the list includes drama texts, monographs, exhibition catalogues and a series devoted entirely to children. Dance, stage photography and cinema also feature prominently. Titivillus also publishes periodicals — semiannual and annual journals such as Prove di Drammaturgia and Quaderni di Teatro Carcere — and maintains stable collaborations with scholars from the performance-studies departments of major Italian universities. The house has consistently emphasised artistic and dramaturgical innovation and the search for nationally and internationally recognised excellence among both established artists and young companies. Over the years the publisher has consolidated its position within the Italian theatre system, earning several awards. These include the Premio della Critica from the Associazione Nazionale dei Critici di Teatro in 2006 and 2012, a merit plaque from the President of the Republic in 2013, and a Special UBU Prize in 2016. Its authors and collaborators include figures such as Bruno Tognolini, Marco Baliani, Simone Azzoni and Edoardo Erba.

Titivillus Mostre Editoria is an Italian publishing house that operates within the Associazione Culturale Teatrino dei Fondi, a theatre company and artistic residency. It was founded in 1995 and is based in Corazzano, a frazione of San Miniato in the province of Pisa, inside the Teatro Quaranthana. The name derives from Titivillus, the devil whom medieval tradition believed worked under Lucifer to lead copyists into error; the figure also appeared in medieval English theatre, giving the name a fitting theatrical and bibliographic resonance. From its origins the press specialised in the disciplines of performance. Its catalogue has grown to more than four hundred titles centred on twentieth-century and contemporary theatre in its many expressions: research and avant-garde theatre, socially engaged theatre, prison theatre, theatre for young people and figure theatre. The list spans critical essays and theoretical reflections, dramaturgy, monographs, exhibition catalogues and a series dedicated entirely to children. Considerable space is also given to dance, stage photography and cinema. Periodicals — semiannual and annual — enrich the output, including Prove di Drammaturgia and Quaderni di Teatro Carcere. The publisher has built stable collaborations with numerous scholars from the performance departments of major Italian universities. In project terms, Titivillus has always paid particular attention to artistic and dramaturgical innovation and to seeking out nationally and internationally recognised excellence among established artists and young companies. Over the years the house has increasingly consolidated its position within the national theatre system, receiving numerous awards for the quality of its work. Among its recognitions are the Premio della Critica from the Associazione Nazionale dei Critici di Teatro in 2006 and again in 2012, a merit plaque from the President of the Republic in 2013, and a Special UBU Prize in 2016. The editorial direction is entrusted to Enrico Falaschi, who also directs the Teatrino dei Fondi. Authors and collaborators associated with the catalogue include Bruno Tognolini, Marco Baliani, Simone Azzoni and Edoardo Erba.
