history
The publishing house was founded in Turin on November 15, 1933 by Giulio Einaudi , the son of the economist , senator of the Liberal Party and later President Luigi Einaudi . From 1934 the publisher brought out the economic journal La Riforma Sociale , previously edited by Luigi Einaudi , to which the journal La Cultura and the first books on economics and history were added in 1935 . The co-founder of the publishing house was the intellectual Leone Ginzburg , who was tortured by Germans in 1944 in the Regina Coeli prison in Rome and died of the consequences. The writer Cesare Pavese was also closely connected to Einaudi and Ginzburg and worked as an editor , translator , editor and program director for the publishing house. Einaudi, Ginzburg and numerous employees belonged to the environment of the anti-fascist resistance movement Giustizia e libertà . The first waves of arrests took place in 1935 and La Cultura was banned. The publisher stuck to its international program and became one of the most influential Italian publishers after 1945. Well-known Einaudi lecturers were the writers Natalia Ginzburg , Elio Vittorini , Italo Calvino and Mario Fortunato .
Einaudi has been part of the Mondadori publishing group since 1994 and thus belongs to the media empire of the entrepreneur and politician Silvio Berlusconi .
