how the situation will evolve in the future. Several
book fairs had to cancel or reschedule their 2020
edition; some of them have already announced new
dates, while others will do so in the future. At the
same time, new solutions to overcome mobility
restrictions are being tested, such as transferring
online initiatives for the general and professional
audience or opening digital spaces to facilitate the
import/export of publishing rights. For these rea-
sons, we believe that updating the Italian Books
Abroad is even more important this year.
Although basic, this tool is a useful support for
promoting publishing relations between Italy and
the rest of the world, since it contains addresses and
reference details for both Italian and foreign oper-
ators concerned with the import/export of books
and publishing rights.
Finding out the identity of professionals in the sec-
tor is a good starting point for an understanding of
the market and its potential, and also for knowledge
of who to turn to in order to obtain Italian language
books to distribute in one’s own country.
The need for a tool like this is even greater now that
Italian titles see a strong increase in popularity,
reaching a public that’s getting continuously wider
and receiving critical attention from various media.
The criteria used for the selection of names are the
same as in previous years.
For Italy the list does not include publishers who
sell their own books directly abroad.
For foreign countries, alongside importers and
distributors, we have also considered bookshops
and bookshop chains which claim to have a wide
assortment of Italian books and some of the Italian

     The newitalianbooks.it is a digital platform
     that has been created to make the Italian pub-
     lishing world more relevant internationally
     by enhancing its visibility in foreign markets,
     also by exploiting the network of Italian in-
     stitutions abroad.
     This bilingual website (Italian & English) pro-
     vides detailed information on the latest Italian
     publications through a series of fact sheets
     provided directly by the publishers themselves.
     Each fact sheet contains a brief description of
     the work, together with a short extract (in both
     Italian and translation), a biography of the
     author and the contact details of whoever holds
     the rights of the work for translation.
     newitalianbooks.it also provides information
     on both Italian and European programmes in
     support of translations, lists of publishers,
     agents and translators, and a calendar of events
     of the Italian publishing world. In addition
     to this wealth of information, the website al-
     so contains interviews with leading figures
     from the world of books, articles on foreign
     publishers of Italian works and an in-depth
     look at translations of Italian authors all over
     the world.
     newitalianbooks.it is promoted by the Istituto
     della Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani, with the
     support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Af-
     fairs and International Cooperation and the
     Italian Centre for Books and Reading (Minis-
     try of Cultural Heritage and Activities and
     Tourism), in collaboration also with the Italian
     Publishers Association.
