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 Viaggio con Dante
In this volume the author has collected his journey as a reader in love with the Commedia. Written in moments and for different occasions (from 1973 to 2016), this critical yet fragmented production highlights the message that the author has drawn from the reading of the work and which can be gathered around three basic considerations. The Comedy is a sort of modern Bible, written by a believer, new scribe Dei, who knew how to listen to the Voice and who interpreted the past as contemporary to point out to others, believer and non-believers, that the laws codified by Christ were a recovery, a revival of those that the man of every past age had codified as their moral laws. Dante assumes, therefore, the role of teacher who re-introduces the ancient and the contemporary history to men in the light of these "eternal laws" so that man can be happy on this earth, reaching that last True That is a guarantee of eternal happiness. Through the exemplification of his journey to that Truth, adding his own experiences as a Christian, politician, scholar, philosopher and theologian, persecuted and exiled, Dante reconstructs his personal story of a sinful man in a poetic story, who was able to understand his status and to reach, with the help of the Faith, through a journey through the realms of the afterlife, to the ultimate Truth.
