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
Galeota in Parnaso. Maschere, poesia e rivoluzione nella Napoli di fine Settecento
During the years that preceded the Neapolitan Republic of 1799, feelings of intolerance towards the politics of Ferdinand IV began to spread in the capital of the Bourbon Kingdom. This intolerance manifested itself in anonymous satirical librettos aimed at criticizing the ignorant "King Naso" or to exalt the figure of his consort Maria Carolina, more open to the enlightenment ideas that were spreading in Europe. One of these particular compositions is the Galeota in Parnassus, whose text and the events connected to it are reconstructed here, denying the opinion of the critics of the past century that wanted Ferdinando Galiani author of the irreverent pamphlet.
