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
In mezzo al guado. Pasquale De Marco (1865-1929)
Pasquale De Luca (1865-1929) is one of the many representatives of Neapolitan culture between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; he was a novelist, dramatist, poet, art critic, journalist, director of national magazines such as "Natura ed Arte" and "Varietas". Like every personality of the time a lot helped to nurture the Neapolitan culture to bring it back to the European levels. The cultural commitment was carried out above all on the columns of the periodicals of the time; in fact, the journalism of that period was, without a doubt, the best instrument to transfer to an Neapolitan society, little inclined to reading, the anxieties, the aspirations, the artistic reasons of a handful of intellectuals paid to art. His personal and artistic story, hitherto little known, because still hidden on the columns of yellowed pages of newspapers of the time, has been reconstructed here with painstaking patience by Di Marco, who is able to trace not only a complete portrait of the man and his work, but also to provide other valuable pieces to reconstruct the puzzle of Naples contemporary to him.
