Yellow pages for exporting,
selling rights and importing
In recognition of the growing importance of
internationalisation, and to encourage knowl-
edge and exchange of publishing and literary
products abroad, this year we have again updat-
ed and expanded the previous edition of Italian
Books Abroad (as we have done since 2008).
We believe that it is an instrument which, al-
though basic, is a useful means of promoting
publishing relations between Italy and the rest
of the world, since it contains addresses and
reference details for both Italian and foreign
operators concerned with the import/export of
books and publishing rights.
Finding out the identity of professionals in the
sector is a good starting point for an under-
standing 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 pop-
ularity, reaching a public that’s getting con-
tinously 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 bookshops abroad which are better
known and have a good reputation.
We have corrected the errors and gaps pointed
out to us from the previous edition. However,
as with any list, there will certainly continue to
be gaps and inaccuracies. We take this oppor-
tunity to apologise to any companies which
have «escaped» our attention and we invite
readers to send us corrections and additions
for the next update.

Serena Libri is a small publishing house founded
in 1997 by Annaserena Ferruzzi to present Italian
literature to Dutch and Flamish readers, from
the 1950s up to the present day, including well-
known authors and young first-time writers. A
great fan of detective fiction, in 1999 Annasere-
na Ferruzzi initiated a series of thrillers with La
voce del violino by Andrea Camilleri and, at the
same time, the debut novel of a very young writ-
er, Alessandro Perissinotto.
So far Annaserena Ferruzzi has published 34
thrillers and 42 novels, among which a volume
of short stories by 20 young Italian authors, writ-
ten about their hometown at the request of the
