Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Dante e l’Umbria - L’Umbria e Dante
Atti del Convegno di studi
Acquasparta, Palazzo Cesi, 2-3 ottobre 2020
In agreement with the city of Acquasparta, the cultural association “La Cartadue” promoted the convention “Dante e l’Umbria. L’Umbria e Dante”, on the occasion of the seventh centenary of the poet’s death, also considering that Acquasparta is one of the locations named in the Divina Commedia.
The essays here published propose again the reports made by university professors in the prestigious Palazzo Cesi. They all cover a precise thematic line. In the first part there are the dantean arguments linked to the history of Umbria: the De vulgari eloquentia (Emiliano Picchiorri) to show the geo-linguistic framework of central Italy (Silvia Capotosto), Dante’s San Francesco (Roberto Mercuri), also compared to the historical one (Fabio Dainotti), Matteo from Acquasparta (Irene Chirico), Santa Chiara (Elena Landoni), san Benedetto (Sara Ferilli). In the second part, instead, are shown authors from Umbria who studied Dante: Francesco Torti (Giancarlo Rati), Luigi Valli (Raffaele Giglio), and Aldo Capitini (Sandro Gentili).
