Editalia (1952- ): Editalia has been an essential player in Italy’s cultural and artistic repertoire for seventy years. Founded by Lidio Bozzini in Rome in 1952, Editalia has focused on contemporary art and fine art publishing, producing objects designed to become family heirlooms. In 1972, Eugenio Montale awarded Editalia the prestigious Libro d’Oro, recognizing the scientific and cultural rigor of its texts and iconographic documentation, combined with a publishing quality and graphic elegance worthy of the best Italian bookmaking tradition. In 1991, Editalia merged with the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. And began producing artistic volumes related to Italian architecture and culture. Part of this initiative produced high-quality facsimiles of precious illuminated manuscripts, such as the Fra Mauro map.
