Založništvo tržaškega tiska

Založništvo tržaškega tiska (ZTT) is a Slovene-language publishing house based in Trieste, Italy. It was founded in 1945 and has since been dedicated to publishing works by authors of the Slovene national community in Italy, covering literature, essays, historiography, and other fields. The publisher is known for its children's books, literary fiction, and cultural periodicals, and it maintains an active catalogue distributed in bookstores and online. ZTT also engages in cross-border cultural projects, such as the bilingual guide 'Gorizia – Nova Gorica: Two cities in one' published in Italian, Slovene, and English in the context of the European Capital of Culture GO!2025. The house celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2025, marking eight decades of continuous publishing activity. Its output includes the children's magazine Galeb, which received recognition from the Slovene section of IBBY for promoting reading. ZTT's editorial programme often highlights regional authors and themes relevant to the Slovene minority in Italy, and it collaborates with institutions such as the public institute GO!2025 and the Slovenian Book Agency. The publisher's website serves as a platform for news, book sales, and digital editions, reflecting its ongoing commitment to accessible Slovene literature.

Založništvo tržaškega tiska (ZTT) was founded in 1945 in Trieste, Italy, in the aftermath of World War II, when the city and the surrounding region were undergoing significant political and territorial changes. The publishing house was established to serve the cultural and linguistic needs of the Slovene national community in Italy, providing literature, educational materials, and periodicals in the Slovene language. From its inception, ZTT focused on publishing works by Slovene authors from the Trieste area and the wider Venezia Giulia region, as well as translations and works of historical significance. Over the decades, ZTT built a catalogue that includes fiction, poetry, essays, historiography, and children's literature. It became a key institution for the preservation of Slovene identity in Italy, often collaborating with cultural organisations, schools, and libraries. In the 21st century, ZTT continued to adapt to changing publishing landscapes by offering e-books and maintaining an online presence. The publisher has received various awards and recognitions, including the Golden Pear quality mark for children's books and IBBY Slovenia's recognition for its magazine Galeb. In 2025, ZTT celebrated its 80th anniversary, marking eight decades of continuous cultural and publishing activity. That same year, it published the English edition of the guide 'Gorizia – Nova Gorica: Two cities in one', a project tied to the European Capital of Culture GO!2025, further demonstrating its role in cross-border cultural dialogue.
