Vivalda Editori

Vivalda Editori is an Italian publishing house whose catalogue is centred on mountain literature, mountaineering and alpine culture. It is best known for the series 'I Licheni', a long-running collection of books devoted to mountains and mountaineering. According to the publisher's own homepage, the series has published more than 128 titles and is widely regarded as the first, largest and most important Italian literary series dedicated to mountains. The brand has been associated with the CDA/Vivalda Editori catalogue, and its backlist and series have been kept in print and distribution through publishing partnerships and, later, through the acquisition of its warehouse stock by another Italian publisher, Susalibri. The company's online presence is at vivaldaeditori.it, where news about the catalogue and distribution is posted. Its editorial identity is closely tied to the Italian alpine tradition and to readers, libraries and bookshops specialising in mountain subjects.

Vivalda Editori is an Italian publishing brand whose identity is built around mountain literature. Its best-known project is the series 'I Licheni', a collection of books dedicated to mountains and mountaineering. The publisher's homepage states that the series has more than 128 published titles and is unanimously considered the first, largest and most important Italian literary series devoted to mountains. Over time the brand has been linked in distribution and catalogue terms with CDA/Vivalda Editori. On 9 May 2013 the publisher announced a historic agreement with Priuli & Verlucca under which the 'I Licheni' series would continue to be present in bookshops, both with titles already in the catalogue and with new works. This arrangement helped maintain the visibility and availability of the series for readers and booksellers. A further significant development came on 17 April 2024, when Susalibri took over the warehouse and the remaining stock of the CDA/Vivalda Editori series. The stated purpose was to guarantee continuity of supply and orders for readers and bookshops loyal to the Vivalda Editori brand. The announcement added that the vivaldaeditori.it website would soon allow customers to order available catalogue titles, with Susalibri handling stock availability, and it set out shipping terms: free shipping in Italy for orders over 20 euros, and for foreign (European) orders a 10 euro contribution added to the cover price. The brand therefore remains active as an editorial identity, with its backlist and series kept alive through partnerships and distribution arrangements.
