Adelphi Edizioni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adelphi Edizioni is a renowned book publisher in Milan that has numerous modern classics in its range. It was founded in 1962 by Luciano Foà and Roberto Bazlen , who had previously worked for Einaudi . The then 21-year-old English studies student Roberto Calasso , who became publishing director in 1999, was there from the start.
