Silvana Editoriale was founded in 1948 by Amilcare Pizzi, as a way of remembering his daughter Silvana, who died prematurely in 1944. Through his commitment and passion, Pizzi expanded its business by publishing books of enormous value.
Memorable titles included the “Silvana Files” (on Masaccio, Beato Angelico, Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael), published to mark the First UNESCO Congress held in Beirut in 1949, and for the “UNESCO Collection of World Art” after it was set up in 1954. These were followed by “Myth of Colour”, “Monographs”, “Pochoir” and “Modern Art”, which included the first Italian three-volume edition of Vincent Van Gogh’s letters.
In the mid-90s, Silvana redefined its publishing strategy, embarking on a path of growth and development on the national and international markets, focused on the fields of art, design, architecture and photography, all of which is documented in the on-site catalogue.
Today, Silvana Editoriale publishes more than 400 titles a year in collaboration with Foundations, Research Institutes, Universities and Museums across Europe, the United States and the Middle East.
